Statistical inference for the penalized EM algorithm to test differential item functioning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Recent advancements in testing differential item functioning (DIF) have greatly relaxed restrictions made by the conventional multiple group item response theory (IRT) model with respect to the number of grouping variables and the assumption of predefined DIF-free anchor items.

Multilevel Generalized Mantel-Haenszel for Differential Item Functioning Detection
Frontiers in Education, 2019 Research has demonstrated that when data are collected in a multilevel framework, standard single level differential item functioning (DIF) analyses can yield incorrect results, particularly inflated Type I error rates.

Gender Fairness within the Force Concept Inventory [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Phys. Educ. Res. 14, 010103 (2018), 2017 Research on the test structure of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) has largely ignored gender, and research on FCI gender effects (often reported as "gender gaps") has seldom interrogated the structure of the test. These rarely-crossed streams of research leave open the possibility that the FCI may not be structurally valid across genders ...

Towards Identifying Human Actions, Intent, and Severity of APT Attacks Applying Deception Techniques -- An Experiment [PDF]
, 2020 Attacks by Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have been shown to be difficult to detect using traditional signature- and anomaly-based intrusion detection approaches. Deception techniques such as decoy objects, often called honey items, may be deployed for intrusion detection and attack analysis, providing an alternative to detect APT behaviours.
