Abstract

The latest version of ACER ConQuest is able to report Mantel-Haenszel Statistics to assist differential item functioning (DIF) analysis, which was investigated using log-odds estimators. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the implementation of Mantel-Haenszel Statistics (Mantel and Haenszel, J Natl Cancer Inst 22:719–748, 1959) for both dichotomous and polytomous items in ACER ConQuest.
