I propose a new confidence interval for the difference between two binomial probabilities that requires only the solution of a quadratic equation. The procedure is based one estimating the variance of the observed difference at the boundaries of the confidence interval, and uses least squares estima

An experiment to assess the efficacy of a particular treatment or process often produces dichotomous responses, either favourable or unfavourable. When we administer the treatment on two occasions to the same subjects, we often use McNemar's test to investigate the hypothesis of no difference in the
Existing methods for setting confidence intervals for the difference between binomial proportions based on paired data perform inadequately. The asymptotic method can produce limits outside the range of validity. The 'exact' conditional method can yield an interval which is effectively only one-side
I propose an exact confidence interval for the ratio of two proportions when the proportions are not independent. One application is to estimate the population prevalence using a screening test with perfect specificity but imperfect sensitivity. The population prevalence is the ratio of the observed
This paper considers a model for the difference of two proportions in a paired or matched design of clinical trials, case-control studies and also sensitivity comparison studies of two laboratory tests. This model includes a parameter indicating both interpatient variability of response probabilitie
