Comparison of Exact, Mid-p, and Mantel–Haenszel Confidence Intervals for the Common Odds Ratio Across Several 2 × 2 Contingency Tables

摘要: Abstract This department includes the two sections New Developments in Statistical Computing and Software Reviews; suitable contents for each of these are described under respective section heading. Articles submitted department, outside sections, should not be highly technical relevant to teaching or practice statistical computing. The exact, mid-p, Mantel–Haenszel confidence intervals common odds ratio across k 2 × contingency tables were compared, terms their coverage length characteristics. A network algorithm was crucial making simulations computationally feasible exact mid-p methods. method used a variance estimator. Although is only one guarantee, theoretically, that interval will undercover true ratio, seen, empirically, also preserve coverage. At same time it produced shorter intervals. In small ...
