Adjusting the Mantel Haenszel Test Statistic and Odds Ratio for Cluster Sampling
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this note is to introduce practicing epidemiologist to a robust cluster adjustment of the Mantel Haenszel Test Statistic and Odds Ratio. We will discuss the applicability of the adjustment and also its computation. Throughout we will use data from the file SDZ1.rec which comes with the CIETmap analysis software. We start by giving a short introduction to odds ratio estimation and introduce the cluster adjustment within this simple context. The justification for the method will follow in a biostatics paper. It is an application of the wellknown delta method.

Generalized Mantel-Haenszel Procedures for 2 × J Tables
Generalization of Mantel-Haenszel procedure for 2 x J (J > 2) tables is reviewed. Included are generalized Mantel-Haenszel tests, estimators for a common odds ratio, and generalized Breslow-Day test for the homogeneity of odds ratios across the strata.-Environ Health Perspect 102(Suppl 8): 57-60 (1994)
متن کاملThe Mantel-Haenszel Procedure Revisited: Models and Generalizations
Several statistical methods have been developed for adjusting the Odds Ratio of the relation between two dichotomous variables X and Y for some confounders Z. With the exception of the Mantel-Haenszel method, commonly used methods, notably binary logistic regression, are not symmetrical in X and Y. The classical Mantel-Haenszel method however only works for confounders with a limited number of ...
متن کاملA new approach for differential item functioning detection using Mantel-Haenszel methods. The GMHDIF program.
To date, the statistical software designed for assessing differential item functioning (DIF) with Mantel-Haenszel procedures has employed the following statistics: the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistic, the generalized Mantel-Haenszel test and the Mantel test. These statistics permit detecting DIF in dichotomous and polytomous items, although they limit the analysis to two groups. On the con...
متن کاملA Note on “Constant Latent Odds-Ratios Models and the Mantel–Haenszel Null Hypothesis” Hessen, 2005
In a recent paper, Hessen (Psychometrika 70(3):497-516, 2005) introduces the class of constant latent odds-ratios models as an extension of the Rasch model for which the sum score is still the sufficient statistic for ability. In this paper the relation between both the general and the general parametric constant latent odds-ratios model and the Rasch model is considered.
