Hello
For my master work, I will use a MIMIC model to detect the differential item functioning in order to improve a questionnaire.
However, the different R codes I found are for binary data while in my questionnaire the items are polytomous.
What adaptations should be made for polytomous items? Do you know an R code for this kind of data? 

Thank!

None that I can think of.
