Does Multidimensionality Cause DIF?

ANIMA Indonesian Psychological Journal, 2018
The differential item functioning (DIF) of an item that initially assumed unidimensional is frequently attributed to the assumption of multidimensionality.

Incidence of P200 pemphigoid: A nationwide study

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
The anti‐LAMB4 cell‐based immunoassay is a new serological technique that is far superior to dermal immunoblotting for detecting autoantibodies directed against the P200 protein. This method allows a re‐evaluation of the incidence of P200 pemphigoid, which appears to be considerably more frequent than epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.

However, DIF requires specialized expertise; therefore, alternative immunological methods such as enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are worth exploring. The aim of this review was to evaluate the diagnostic agreement
