#' Differential Item Functioning Study
#'
#' Functions for estimating differential item functioning (DIF) with a set of
#' scored item responses.
#'
#' @param x matrix or data.frame of scored item responses.
#' @param groups vector defining categorical grouping variable.
#' @param ref string identifying label used in \code{groups}
#' to represent the reference group, with no default.
#' @param scores optional vector of construct scores, defaulting to row sums
#' over all columns in \code{x} when \code{NULL} and \code{anchor_items} is
#' not specified.
#' @param method what DIF method to use, with \code{"mh"} for Mantel-Haenszel
#' and \code{"lr"} for logistic regression.
#' @param anchor_items vector of item names or column numbers for
#' identifying anchoring items in \code{x}. These will be used when finding
#' construct scores if \code{scores} is missing, defaulting to all columns in
#' \code{x}.
#' @param dif_items vector of item names or column numbers identifying what
#' items in \code{x} should be analyzed for DIF, defaulting
#' to all columns in \code{x}.
#' @param complete logical with default \code{TRUE} indicating whether or not
#' \code{x}, \code{groups}, and \code{scores} should be reduced to cases
#' with complete data.
#' @param na.rm logical with default \code{FALSE} specifying whether missings
#' should be removed before calculating individual descriptives.
#' @param p_cut numeric cutoff for evaluating the p-value for the
#' Mantel-Haenszel chi-square, with default 0.05.
#' @param sdp_w string for choosing the weight when finding the standardized
#' difference statistic, defaulting to the number of test takers in the
#' focal group.
#' @param contrast_type string for the type of contrasts to use in logistic
#' regression, defaulting to \code{"contr.treatment"}.
