Detection of Uniform and Non-Uniform Differential Item Functioning by Item Focussed Trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Detection of differential item functioning by use of the logistic modelling approach has a long tradition. One big advantage of the approach is that it can be used to investigate non-uniform DIF as well as uniform DIF.
