rundif: runs ordinal logistic regression DIF

In lordif: Logistic Ordinal Regression Differential Item Functioning using IRT

Description

Runs ordinal logistic regression DIF

Usage

rundif(item, resp, theta, gr, criterion, alpha, beta.change, pseudo.R2, R2.change, wt)

Arguments

item	a selection of items to be analyzed
resp	a data frame containing item responses
theta	a conditioning (matching) variable
gr	a vector of group identifiers
criterion	criterion for flagging (i.e., "CHISQR", "R2", or "BETA")
alpha	significance level for Chi-squared criterion
beta.change	proportional change for Beta criterion
pseudo.R2	pseudo R-squared measure (i.e., "McFadden", "Nagelkerke", or "CoxSnell")
R2.change	R-squared change for pseudo R-squared criterion
wt	optional sample weights

Details

The argument item lists the column numbers of the data frame resp to be included in the analysis.

Value

Returns a list of the following components:

stats	a data frame containing output statistics
flag	a logical vector of DIF flags
