The Effects of Score Group Width on the Mantel-Haenszel Procedure.
Clauser, Brian; And Others
Journal of Educational Measurement, v31 n1 p67-78 Spr 1994
The effect of reducing the number of score groups in the matching criterion of the Mantel-Haenszel procedure when screening for differential item functioning was investigated with a simulated data set. Results suggest that more than modest reductions cannot be recommended when ability distributions of reference and focal groups differ. (SLD)
