TL;DR
The ordinal logistic regression approach to DIF detection, when combined with IRT ability estimates, provides a reasonable alternative for Dif detection.
Abstract
The ordinal logistic regression approach to DIF detection, when combined with IRT ability estimates, provides a reasonable alternative for DIF detection. There appear to be several items with significant DIF related to language of test administration in the MMSE. More attention needs to be paid to the specific criteria used to determine whether an item has DIF, not just the technique used to identify DIF.

Findings indicate that low EPV can lead to major problems, and the regression coefficients were biased in both positive and negative directions, and paradoxical associations (significance in the wrong direction) were increased.

The authors compared the performance of several such strategies for fitting multiplicative Poisson regression models to cohort data, finding that the change-in-estimate and equivalence-test-of-the-difference strategies performed best when the cut-point for deciding whether crude and adjusted estimates differed by an important amount was set to a low value.

The proportional odds model for ordinal logistic regression provides a useful extension of the binary logistic model to situations where the response variable takes on values in a set of ordered categories.

Analysis of DIF in the Cognitive Assessment Screening Instrument (CASI) using data from a large cohort study of elderly adults is presented and an ordinal logistic regression modelling technique to assess test items for DIF is developed.

A study of item bias in standard cognitive screening measures was conducted in a sample of Afro-American, Hispanic and non-Hispanic white elderly respondents who were part of a dementia case registry study to identify biased items.

The authors' analyses show that failing to account for DIF results in an approximately 1.6% overestimation of the magnitude of difference in assessed cognition between high- and low-education groups, and item bias does not appear to be a major source of observed differences in cognitive status by educational attainment.

Results indicate that logistic regression is powerful in detecting most forms of DIF; however, it required large amounts of data manipulation, and interpretation of the results was sometimes difficult.

The lack of evidence for bias provides little support to proposals to adjust Mini-Mental State Examination scores according to level of education, and the correlation of MMSE scores and age was equivalent across high and low-education groups.

Assessment of differential item functioning (DIF) of individual MMS items across 3 language/ethnicity groups was performed by using a logistic regression procedure and Fifteen of the 26 M MS items were significantly related to total score and were shown to provide unbiased measurement across the 3 groups.

Evaluation of a single-summary measure may require a larger or a smaller study size than evaluation of separate outcomes, depending on whether treatment effects are about the same or very different.
