A Comparison of the Logistic Regression and Mantel-Haenszel Procedures for Detecting Differential Item Functioning.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v17 n2 p105-16 Jun 1993

Performance of the logistic regression (LR) procedure was compared to that of the Mantel Haenszel (MH) procedure in the detection of uniform and nonuniform differential item functioning on a simulation examining distributional properties of the LR and MH test statistics and the relative power of the two procedures.
