✦ Synopsis

Analysis of 2 x 2 contingency tables is not as trivial as it appears. The choice of the statistical test can affect the inferences resulting from data analysis, especially at small sample sizes. Canned statistical programs do not necessarily lead to an appropriate test. These points are demonstrated using examples from the literature. 8 ~1 Academic press, I~C.
