Dependencies in Item-Adaptive CAT Data and Differential Item Functioning Detection: A Multilevel Framework
Dandan Chen Kaptur, Justin Kern, Chingwei David Shin +1
Differential item functioning (DIF) detection is an important yet understudied problem in computerized adaptive testing (CAT). In this article, we proposed a two-level logistic mod…
Examining Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in Self-Reported Health Survey Data: Via Multilevel Modeling
Dandan Chen Kaptur, Yiqing Liu, Bradley Kaptur +4
Few health-related constructs or measures have received a critical evaluation in terms of measurement equivalence, such as self-reported health survey data. Differential item funct…
Evaluating Four Methods for Detecting Differential Item Functioning in Large-Scale Assessments with More Than Two Groups
Dandan Chen Kaptur, Jinming Zhang
This study evaluated four multi-group differential item functioning (DIF) methods (the root mean square deviation approach, Wald-1, generalized logistic regression procedure, and g…
Examinees' Rapid-Guessing Patterns in Computerized Adaptive Testing for Interim Assessment: From Hierarchical Clustering
Dandan Chen Kaptur, Elizabeth Patton, Logan Rome
Interim assessment is frequently administered via computerized adaptive testing (CAT), offering direct support to teaching and learning. This study attempted to fill a vital knowle…
