Testing differences in proportions.

چکیده
This paper is the sixth in a series of statistics articles recently published by Australian Critical Care. In this paper we explore the most commonly used statistical tests to compare groups of data at the nominal level of measurement. The chosen statistical tests are the chi-square test, chi-square test for goodness of fit, chi-square test for independence, Fisher's exact test, McNemar's test and the use of confidence intervals for proportions. Examples of how to use and interpret the tests are provided.

Do Eye Movement Measures Show Testing Effects?
Taking a test during learning enhances later retention more than spending equivalent time restudying the same materials (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). In the study, we first recorded participants’ eye movements in a paired-associate learning task while they were re-studying or tested for immediate cue recall. Testing prompted final item memory but not memory for its associated location. Participa...

متن کاملEnhanced Objective Bayesian Testing For The Equality Of Two Proportions
We develop a new class of prior distributions for Bayesian comparison of nested models, which we call intrinsic moment priors. We aim at testing the equality of two proportions, based on independent samples, and thus focus on discrete data models. We illustrate our methodology in a running Bernoulli example, where we test a sharp null hypothesis, then we implement our procedure to test the equa...
