Unconditional small-sample confidence intervals for the odds ratio.
The traditional approach to 'exact' small-sample interval estimation of the odds ratio for binomial, Poisson, or multinomial samples uses the conditional distribution to eliminate nuisance parameters. This approach can be very conservative. For two independent binomial samples, we study an unconditional approach with overall confidence level guaranteed to equal at least the nominal level. With ...
متن کاملFrequentist performance of Bayesian confidence intervals for comparing proportions in 2 x 2 contingency tables.
This article investigates the performance, in a frequentist sense, of Bayesian confidence intervals (CIs) for the difference of proportions, relative risk, and odds ratio in 2 x 2 contingency tables. We consider beta priors, logit-normal priors, and related correlated priors for the two binomial parameters. The goal was to analyze whether certain settings for prior parameters tend to provide go...
متن کاملThe analysis of stratified 2 x 2 contingency tables.
We consider the problem of testing for independence against the consistent superiority of one treatment over another when the response variable is binary and is compared across two treatments in each of several strata. Specifically, we consider the randomized clinical trial setting. A number of issues arise in this context. First, should tables be combined if there are small or zero margins? Se...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for Lower Quantiles Based on Two-Sample Scheme
In this paper, a new two-sampling scheme is proposed to construct appropriate confidence intervals for the lower population quantiles. The confidence intervals are determined in the parametric and nonparametric set up and the optimality problem is discussed in each case. Finally, the proposed procedure is illustrated via a real data set.
متن کاملBayesian inference about odds ratio structure in ordinal contingency tables
When the goal of a study is to compare two groups on an ordinal categorical scale, a large number of inferential methods are available. Most methods are designed to detect a location effect, such as by focusing a single-degree-of-freedom test on an effect parameter. Often, rather than merely summarizing by a P -value to describe the evidence against a null hypothesis, it is of interest to consi...
