Detection of Differential Item Functioning Using Mantel-Haenszel, Standardization Proportion and BILOG-MG Procedures [PDF]
Global Educational Studies Review, 2021 Differential item functioning (DIF) is a procedure to identify whether an item favours a particular group of respondents once they are matched on respective ability levels. There are numerous procedures reported in the literature to detect DIF, but the Mantel-Haenszel (MH), Standardized Proportion Difference (SPD), and BILOG-MG are frequently used to ...
