Description

The difNLR package provides methods for detecting differential item
functioning (DIF) using non-linear regression models. Both uniform and
non-uniform DIF effects can be detected when considering a single focal group.
Additionally, the method allows for testing differences in guessing or
inattention parameters between the reference and focal group. DIF detection is
performed using either a likelihood-ratio test, an F-test, or Wald’s test of a
submodel. The software offers a variety of algorithms for estimating item
parameters.

Furthermore, the difNLR package includes methods for detecting differential
distractor functioning (DDF) using multinomial log-linear regression model. It
also introduces DIF detection approaches for ordinal data via adjacent category
logit and cumulative logit regression models.
