LASSO penalization can be used for models with very high numbers of covariates.The regression parameters are penalized and more of them become zero as the penalty increases,thereby resulting in covari
As a commonly used tool for operationalizing measurement models,Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) requires strong assumptions that may lead to poor fit of the model to real data.The post-hoc modificat
Identification of subgroups of patients for which treatment A is more effective than treatment B,and vice versa,is of key importance to the development of personalized psychological medicine.
Many procedures have been developed to investigate DIF in questionnaire response data,among others the wellknown Likelihood-Ratio test and the Mantel-Haenszel statistic(see Magis et al.(2010) for a co
Differential Item Functioning(DIF) occurs when individuals from different populations show different probabilities of correctly responding to an item with the same latent trait.If DIF items exist in t
The Mantel-Haenszel(MH) procedure is a widely used nonparametric statistical method to measure the amount of DIF present in an item.For operational programs at ETS,at least 200 members are required fo
Differential Item Functioning(DIF) occurs when items behave differently for examinees at the same ability level that are in different groups.Choosing a proper group of invariant items as anchors is an
The purpose of this study is to examine the testlet effect on IRT-based DIF methods,since these traditional methods do not take Local Item Dependence(LID) caused by testlets into account.
Two different approaches from the early 1900s to the computational task of multiple regression are attributed to a psychometrician,Truman Lee Kelley,and a major political figure,Henry A.Wallace.
Measurement invariance is an important condition for a measure or scale to be meaningfully compared,specifically on the corresponding latent factor mean or the mean of the corresponding observed compo
