The problem of testing equality of two independent binomial proportions is reexamined. A recent article by D’Agostino, Chase, and Belanger (1988) argues that the Fisher exact test and the Yates chi-squared test with continuity correction are much too conservative in small samples. The authors proposed using a studentized version of the Pearson chi-squared test, and… Continue reading Testing the equality of two independent binomial proportions.

Calibrated Bayes: a Bayes/frequentist roadmap
The lack of an agreed inferential basis for statistics makes life “interesting” for academic statisticians, but at the price of negative implications for the status of statistics in industry, science, and government. The practice of our discipline will mature only when we can come to a basic agreement about how to apply statistics to real… Continue reading Calibrated Bayes: a Bayes/frequentist roadmap
