Abstract
A simulation study was carried out to compare the Mantel-Haenszel and the Loglinear procedures for detecting differentially functioning item s. The procedures were applied in one single step and iteratively. The two main conclusions are: First, the Mantel-Haenszel procedure has hi gher power than the Loglinear procedures. Second, the iterative applic ation of the procedures substantially improves detection rates and Typ e I error compared to single-step applications.
