How Item Residual Heterogeneity Affects Tests for Differential Item Functioning [PDF]
Applied Psychological Measurement, 2014 Differential item functioning (DIF) occurs when people with the same proficiency have different probabilities of giving a certain response to an item. The present study focused on an assumption implicit in popular methods for DIF testing that has received little attention in published literature (item residual homogeneity). The assumption is explained,

Detection of Differential Item Functioning
Methodology, 2012 This study analyzes Differential Item Functioning (DIF) with three combined decision rules and compares the results with the variation of the Mantel-Haenszel procedure (vaMH) proposed by Mazor, Clauser, and Hambleton (1994). One decision rule combines the Mantel-Haenszel procedure (MH) with the Breslow-Day test of trend in odds ratio heterogeneity (BDT)
