A regularised latent‐class item response model for detecting measurement non‐invariance in ordinal response scales

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measurement non‐invariance arises when the psychometric properties of a scale differ across subgroups, undermining the validity of group comparisons. At the item level, this manifests as differential item functioning (DIF), where item responses differ across groups after controlling for the latent trait.
