Sinharay, Sandip; Johnson, Matthew S. – Grantee Submission, 2019
According to Wollack and Schoenig (2018), score differencing is one of six types of statistical methods used to detect test fraud. In this paper, we suggested the use of Bayes factors (e.g., Kass & Raftery, 1995) for score differencing. A simulation study shows that the suggested approach performs slightly better than an existing frequentist…

Wollack, Cohen, and Eckerly (2015) suggested the "erasure detection index" (EDI) to detect fraudulent erasures for individual examinees. Wollack and Eckerly (2017) extended the EDI to detect fraudulent erasures at the group level. The EDI at the group level was found to be slightly conservative. This paper suggests two modifications of…
