Abstract:In this study, the methods based on Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory were used comparatively to determine Type I error and power rates in Differential Item Functioning. Logistic regression, Mantel-Haenszel, Lord's 𝜒 2 , Breslow-Day and Raju's area index methods were used for the analyses, which were conducted using the R programming language. Determination of Type I error and power rates of these methods under certain conditions was carried out by simulation study. For data generation, analyzes … Show more
