Korobko, Oksana B.; Glas, Cees A. W.; Bosker, Roel J.; Luyten, Johan W. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2008
Methods are presented for comparing grades obtained in a situation where students can choose between different subjects. It must be expected that the comparison between the grades is complicated by the interaction between the students' pattern and level of proficiency on one hand, and the choice of the subjects on the other hand. Three methods…

Glas, Cees A. W. – 1996
In this paper it is shown that differential item functioning can be evaluated using the Lagrange multiplier test or C. R. Rao's efficient score test. The test is presented in the framework of a number of item response theory (IRT) models such as the Rasch model, the one-parameter logistic model, the two-parameter logistic model, the generalized…

Glas, Cees A. W.; Beguin, Anton A. – 1996
Recently, L. Zeng and M. J. Kolen (1995) have introduced item response theory (IRT) observed score (OS) equating of number-correct (NC) scores for equating different forms of a test. In this paper, IRT-OS-NC equating is adapted to equating the cut-off scores of examinations. Next, the differences between results obtained using a Rasch model for…
