Screens dichotomous and polytomous test items for Differential Item Functioning (DIF) using an extension of the Mantel (1963) doi:10.1080/01621459.1963.10500879 and generalized Mantel-Haenszel statistic, with statistical significance computed via permutation rather than the conventional asymptotic chi-square approximation. Following Hemerik and Goeman (2018) doi:10.1007/s11749-017-0571-1, the permutation p-value is exact at the nominal level rather than an approximation, even for a finite number of permutations. This makes the test valid for small samples (fewer than 200 examinees per group), a condition common in classroom-, program-, and institution-level assessment where existing exact-inference options in other software are restricted to dichotomous items only. An optional Benjamini-Hochberg or Bonferroni correction addresses multiple comparisons when screening many items at once.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("exactGMH", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("exactGMH-project/exactGMH")

Development version from exactGMH-project/exactGMH. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-exactGMH

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-exactGMH

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
