Real and Artificial Differential Item Functioning in Polytomous Items. [PDF]
Educ Psychol Meas, 2015 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
