Multiple-indicator multiple cause (MIMIC) models have become a popular latent variable method to detect di erential item functioning (DIF) by practitioners. The ease of including groups for DIF testing and the implementation of MIMIC models in structural equation modeling software have helped drive the use of MIMIC models by applied researchers. However, there are several shortcomings within th...
