title: Generalized Mantel-Haenszel estimators for K 2 x J tables.
abstract: Mickey and Elashoff (1985, Biometrics 41, 623-635) gave an extension of Mantel-Haenszel estimation to log-linear models for 2 x J x K tables. Their extension yields two generalizations of the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio estimator to K 2 x J tables. This paper provides variance and covariance estimators for these generalized Mantel-Haenszel estimators that are dually consistent (i.e., consistent in both large strata and sparse data), and presents comparisons of the efficiency of the generalized Mantel-Haenszel estimators.
