Effects of Differing Item Parameters on Closed-Interval DIF Statistics

University of Minnesota

The closed-interval signed area (CSA) and closed- moderate to large differences between the groups than interval unsigned area (CUA) statistics were studied by the CUA. However, the effect of the pseudo-guessing monte carlo simulation to detect differential item func- parameter varied depending on item discriminations. tioning when the reference and focal groups had differ- Index terms: closed-interval measures, differential item ent parameter distributions.
