Factors Influencing the Mantel-Haenszel Procedure in the Detection of Differential Item Functioning.

Uttaro, Thomas; Millsap, Roger E.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v18 n1 p15-25 Mar 1994

Performances of the Mantel Haenszel odds-ratio estimator and chi-square significance test were investigated using simulated data for 500 reference group and 500 focal group examinees. Results demonstrate the importance of using both the odds-ratio and significance tests in interpreting the presence or absence of differential item functioning. (SLD)
