Detecting Differential Item Functioning among Multiple Groups Using IRT Residual DIF Framework
Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 656-681, Winter 2024.Abstract This study presents a generalized version of the residual differential item functioning (RDIF) detection framework in item response theory, named GRDIF, to analyze differential item functioning (DIF) in multiple groups. The GRDIF framework retains the advantages of the original RDIF framework, such as computational efficiency and ease of ...

Estimation of Models in a Rasch Family for Polytomous Items and Multiple Latent Variables
Journal of Statistical Software, 2007 The Rasch family of models considered in this paper includes models for polytomous items and multiple correlated latent traits, as well as for dichotomous items and a single latent variable. An R package is described that computes estimates of parameters

Middle school students' use of the energy concept to engage in new learning: What ideas matter?
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2191-2222, November 2024.Abstract One reason for the widespread use of the energy concept across the sciences is that energy analysis can be used to interpret the behavior of systems even if one does not know the particular mechanisms that underlie the observed behavior. By providing an approach to interpreting unfamiliar phenomena, energy provides a lens on phenomena that can

Development and validation of a patient‐reported outcome measure for hair loss treatment: The HAIR‐Q
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 3705-3715, November 2024.Abstract Background Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) for hair loss focus mainly on Alopecia Areata. We created a PROM (i.e., HAIR‐Q) that is applicable to any hair loss condition. The HAIR‐Q measures satisfaction with hair. Patients/Methods Concept elicitation interviews were conducted and analyzed to develop a draft scale.
