Differential item functioning detection across multiple groups
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Differential item functioning (DIF) can be investigated by estimating item response theory (IRT) parameters separately for different respondent groups, thus allowing for the detection of discrepancies in parameter estimates across groups. However, before comparing the estimates, it is necessary to convert them to a common metric due to the ...

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...
