• A Synthesis of 15 Years of Research on DIF in Language Testing: Methodological Advances, Challenges, and Recommendations (2007, methodology): “As a consequence, hierarchical models such as hierarchical logistic regression models (eg, Swanson, Clauser, & Case, 2002 ) and hierarchical IRT models (eg, Kamata, 2001 ) can be specified with relative ease.”
• An Approach for Categorizing DIF in Polytomous Items (2007, result): “Although much of the published research to date concerning the causes of DIF has focused on dichotomous item formats ( Bolt, 2000 ; Douglas, Roussos, & Stout, 1996 ; Gierl & Khaliq, 2001 ; Schmitt, Holland, & Dorans, 1993 ; Swanson, Clauser, Case, Nungester, & Featherman, 2002 ), the P1 and P2 s”
• An Integrated Bayesian Model for DIF Analysis (2009, methodology): “Swanson et al. (2002) propose an extension of the logistic regression method of Swaminathan & Rogers (1990) imposing an hierarchical structure where characteristics related to the items via co-variables are included on the second level of the regression model allowing the confirmation or rejection…”
