Overall performance of Oort's procedure for response shift detection at item level: a pilot simulation study

摘要

This simulation study was designed to provide data on the performance of Oort's procedure (OP) for response shift (RS) detection (regarding type I error, power, and overall performance), according to sample characteristics, at item level. A specific objective was to assess the impact of using different information criteria (IC), as alternatives to the LRT (likelihood-ratio test), for global assessment of RS occurrence.
