The Use of Loglinear Models for Assessing Differential Item Functioning across Manifest and Latent Examinee Groups.

Kelderman, Henk; Macready, George B.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v27 n4 p307-27 Win 1990

Loglinear latent class models are used to detect differential item functioning (DIF). Likelihood ratio tests for assessing the presence of various types of DIF are described, and these methods are illustrated through the analysis of a "real world" data set. (TJH)
