A multidimensional IRT model for continuous and graded responses with error in persons and items

, 2020
This article proposes two multidimensional extensions of existing DMs: the M-DTCRM, intended for (approximately) continuous responses, and the M-DTGRM, intended for ordered-categorical responses (including binary). A rationale for the extension to the multiple-content-dimensions case, which is based on the concept of the multidimensional location index,

Comparison of Differential Item Functioning Detection Procedures under the Multidimensional Graded Response Model Framework [PDF]

, 2021
Construct validity is necessary to confirm psychometric instruments measure their intended construct and limit measurement error. Differential item functioning (DIF) helps to identify bias and error within measurement instruments and support construct ...
