Note. Age ranges, descriptive statistics, and sample sizes for two-group, three-group and four-group age splits for DIF analyses. Two- and three-group splits based on sample age quantiles, while four-group based on approximately ten-year age bins. The 25th, 50th and 75 quantiles of the age distribution are 57.2, 70.7 and 76.0, respectively. Female% indicates what percentage of the full sample in each age bin is female.
