Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is highly recommended for all involved in test development or who have any interest in the use of tests in education or in other fields.

The book concludes with a set of principles for deciding when DIF should be interpreted as evidence of bias.…
