A Simulation and Empirical Study of Differential Test Functioning (DTF)
Psych, 2023 Detecting and understanding DTF is very important under various DIF conditions. In this study, the performance of DTF, DRF, SIBTEST, and CSIBTEST approaches in detecting DIF effects was investigated using a simulation study and a real dataset.

Evaluating the Magnitude of Differential Item Functioning in Polytomous Items [PDF]
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1994 Several recent studies have investigated the application of statistical inference procedures to the analysis of differential item functioning (DIF) in polytomous test items that are scored on an ordinal scale. Mantel’s extension of the Mantel-Haenszel test is one of several hypothesis-testing methods for this purpose.

Real and Artificial Differential Item Functioning in Polytomous Items [PDF]
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2014 Differential item functioning (DIF) for an item between two groups is present if, for the same person location on a variable, persons from different groups have different expected values for their responses. Applying only to dichotomously scored items in the popular Mantel–Haenszel (MH) method for detecting DIF in which persons are classified by their ...
