Detecting Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) Models Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)

Abstract: We conducted two studies on using random forests (RFs) with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to detect differential item functioning (DIF) in multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models. RF-XAI identifies DIF-items by their importance in predicting group membership from it...
