Few statistical tests for proportions comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article reviews a number of statistical tests for comparing proportions. These statistical tests are presented in a comprehensive way, so that OR practitioners can easily understand them and correctly use them. A test for 2 · 2 contingency tables is developed and shown to be more powerful than other classical tests of the literature such as Fisher’s exact test. Tables with critical values for small samples are provided, so that the test can be conducted without any computations. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Statistical Inference for Hardy-Weinberg Proportions in the Presence of Missing Genotype Information
In genetic association studies, tests for Hardy-Weinberg proportions are often employed as a quality control checking procedure. Missing genotypes are typically discarded prior to testing. In this paper we show that inference for Hardy-Weinberg proportions can be biased when missing values are discarded. We propose to use multiple imputation of missing values in order to improve inference for H...
متن کاملA tutorial on confidence intervals for proportions in diagnostic radiology.
Research in diagnostic radiology often aims to establish the safety and the accuracy of a new procedure or to compare it with other procedures. Frequently, the diagnostic performance of a test can be summarized by proportions such as accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Safety may be reflected by the proportion of patients experiencing unpleasant or adverse effects. The confidence interval i...
متن کاملStatistical Multiplicity in Systematic Reviews of Anaesthesia Interventions: A Quantification and Comparison between Cochrane and Non-Cochrane Reviews
BACKGROUND Systematic reviews with meta-analyses often contain many statistical tests. This multiplicity may increase the risk of type I error. Few attempts have been made to address the problem of statistical multiplicity in systematic reviews. Before the implications are properly considered, the size of the issue deserves clarification. Because of the emphasis on bias evaluation and because o...
متن کاملA comparison of stratified and adjusted trend tests for binomial proportions.
For the problem of testing for a monotonic trend between an ordinal exposure and a binary response while controlling for categorical cofactors, we derived stratified and adjusted versions of two single contrast tests. Using simulations, we compared their statistical properties to those of the commonly used stratified Mantel-extension trend (MET) test. All tests had high power in case of monoton...
متن کاملInferences about a linear combination of proportions.
Statistical methods for carrying out asymptotic inferences (tests or confidence intervals) relative to one or two independent binomial proportions are very frequent. However, inferences about a linear combination of K independent proportions L = Σβ(i)p(i) (in which the first two are special cases) have had very little attention paid to them (focused exclusively on the classic Wald method). In t...
