Given several 2 × 2 contingency tables, the ÿrst step in epidemiologic research is to test for homogeneity of odds ratios across these tables. A second problem of equal interest, but often overlooked, is to evaluate the power of detection of interaction if it is present. We address the latter issue

The simple comparison of two binomial populations is frequently of interest in epidemiology when the domains are large. For small domains, however, there are no exact methods except Fisher's exact test. A basic problem, therefore, is to compare two populations by assessing the difference between the
A modified exact test is proposed for 2 x 2 contingency tables. This test, which is based on a lees connervative definition of the concept of significance (STONE, 106s) is compared with a modified form of Pearson's X\* test and with Tocher's randomized exact (UMPU) test. The sizes of the new test li
