Detecting Differential Item Functioning Using Logistic Regression Procedures.

Swaminathan, Hariharan; Rogers, H. Jane

Journal of Educational Measurement, v27 n4 p361-70 Win 1990

A logistic regression model for characterizing differential item functioning (DIF) between two groups is presented. A distinction is drawn between uniform and nonuniform DIF in terms of model parameters. A statistic for testing the hypotheses of no DIF is developed, and simulation studies compare it with the Mantel-Haenszel procedure. (Author/TJH)
