A Systematic Review of the Methodology for Person Fit Research in Item Response Theory: Lessons about Generalizability of Inferences from the Design of Simulation Studies (2013, methodology): “…same time, some researchers induce aberrant responses for all persons in their sample for some of their design conditions (e.g., Emons et al. 2003) or all of their design conditions (e.g., de la Torre & Deng, 2008; Sijtsma & Meijer, 2001) even when the same kind of aberrant behavior is generated.”
A Didactic Presentation of Snijders’s lz* Index of Person Fit With Emphasis on Response Model Selection and Ability Estimation (2012, background): “Because the distribution of lz* is supposed to fit closer the standard normal distribution than that of lz, the proportion of response patterns which indicate misfit is much closer to the nominal significance level a with lz* than with lz, as shown by Snijders (2001) and de la Torre and Deng (2008).”
