Identification of Nonuniform Differential Item Functioning Using a Variation of the Mantel-Haenszel Procedure.
Mazor, Kathleen M.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v54 n2 p284-91 Sum 1994
A variation of the Mantel Haenszel procedure is proposed that improves detection rates of nonuniform differential item functioning (DIF) without increasing the Type I error rate. The procedure, which is illustrated with simulated examinee responses, involves splitting the sample into low- and high-performing groups. (SLD)
