Exact and approximate methods for analyzing the common odds ratio in the combination of 2 x 2 tables are programmed. The approximate methods are improved by incorporating bias and skewness corrections in testing and estimation. Exact methods are done more efficiently by employing network theory. Thi

✦ Synopsis
A FORTRAN program for computing the conditional maximum likelihood estimate of the combined odds ratios (also called relative risks or cross-product ratios) from a set of 2 x 2 tables is given. Exact tests for the main effect and interation as well as exact confidence limits are given. Optionally, these results may be computed asymptotically. The program is illustrated with a numerical example.

This paper presents the results of a Monte Carlo study comparing the performance, in terms of size and power, of six exact and six asymptotic tests for the homogeneity of odds ratios in several 2 x 2 contingency tables. With a small sample size or sparse data structure, the exact tests performed bet
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
On the basis of the conditional distribution, given the marginal totals of non-cases 6xed for each of independent 2 x 2 tables under invase sampling, this paper develops the conditional maximum likelihood (CMLE) estimator of the underlying common relative dBerence (RD) and its asymptotic conditional
