Direct linkGuo, Hongwen; Dorans, Neil J. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2020
We make a distinction between the operational practice of using an observed score to assess differential item functioning (DIF) and the concept of departure from measurement invariance (DMI) that conditions on a latent variable. DMI and DIF indices of effect sizes, based on the Mantel-Haenszel test of common odds ratio, converge under restricted…

The Mantel-Haenszel delta difference (MH D-DIF) and the standardized proportion difference (STD P-DIF) are two observed-score methods that have been used to assess differential item functioning (DIF) at Educational Testing Service since the early 1990s. Latentvariable approaches to assessing measurement invariance at the item level have been…

Lu, Ru; Guo, Hongwen; Dorans, Neil J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
Two families of analysis methods can be used for differential item functioning (DIF) analysis. One family is DIF analysis based on observed scores, such as the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) and the standardized proportion-correct metric for DIF procedures; the other is analysis based on latent ability, in which the statistic is a measure of departure from…
