A Conceptual Analysis of Differential Item Functioning in Terms of a Multidimensional Item Response Model.
Camilli, Gregory
Applied Psychological Measurement, v16 n2 p129-47 Jun 1992
A mathematical model is proposed to describe how group differences in distributions of abilities, which are distinct from the target ability, influence the probability of a correct item response. In the multidimensional approach, differential item functioning is considered a function of the educational histories of the examinees. (SLD)
