Abstract: We show via simulation and counterexamples that the Mantel-Haenszel estimator of a common odds ratio, adapted for complex survey designs using survey weights, is inconsistent for sparse-data limiting models. We also propose an alternative estimator that is consistent for sparse-data limiting models satisfying a positivity condition, but not for large-strata limiting models.
