When Do Item Response Function and Mantel-Haenszel Definitions of Differential Item Functioning Coincide?

Zwick, Rebecca

Journal of Educational Statistics, v15 n3 p185-97 Fall 1990

Use of the Mantel-Haenszel procedure as a test for differential item functioning under the Rasch model of item-response theory is examined. Results of the procedure cannot be generalized to the class of items for which item-response functions are monotonic and local independence holds. (TJH)
