  • A Comparison of the Efficiency and Accuracy of BILOG and LOGIST

  • Wendy M. Yen
  • Journal:
    Psychometrika / Volume 52 / Issue 2 / March 1987
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    01 January 2025, pp. 275-291

  • Comparisons are made between BILOG version 2.2 and LOGIST 5.0 Version 2.5 in estimating the item parameters, traits, item characteristic functions (ICFs), and test characteristic functions (TCFs) for the three-parameter logistic model. Data analyzed are simulated item responses for 1000 simulees and one 10-item test, four 20-item tests, and four 40-item tests. LOGIST usually was faster than BILOG in producing maximum likelihood estimates. BILOG almost always produced more accurate estimates of individual item parameters. In estimating ICFs and TCFs BILOG was more accurate for the 10-item test, and the two programs were about equally accurate for the 20- and 40-item tests.
