Abstract:
When differential item functioning (DIF) is investigated, DIF classification is made using statistical test results and estimated DIF sizes in practice. One of the well-known DIF classifications is that of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) A (negligible DIF), B (medium DIF), and C (large DIF) rules. This article provides a clarifying note on (a) a sketch of the proof of the asymptotic normality of what is known as the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) delta, which provides the basis of a point and an interval null hypothesis test based on the MH delta, and (b) how to conduct an interval null hypothesis test using the MH delta, which is necessary for the C DIF classification.

Types of Hypothesis Testing
When the null and alternative hypotheses are stated, it is observed that the null hypothesis is a neutral statement against which the alternative hypothesis is tested. The alternative hypothesis is a claim that instead has a certain direction. If the null hypothesis claims that p = 0.5, the alternative hypothesis would be an opposing statement to this and can be put either p > 0.5, p < 0.5, or p...
