An Empirical Comparison of Mantel-Haenszel and Rasch Procedures for Studying Differential Item Functioning on Teacher Certification Tests.
Engelhard, George, Jr.; And Others
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v23 n3 p172-79 Spr 1990
Results are reported from a study that investigated the correspondence between two methods used to assess differential item functioning (test item bias). The study also explored the influence of sample size on the two procedures. Although agreement between the two procedures was generally good, the Rasch procedure was more reliable. (IAH)
