The McNemar exact unconditional test

Described in Chapter 8 "The Paired 2x2 Table"

McNemar_exact_unconditional_test_paired_2x2(
  n,
  gamma = 1e-04,
  num_pi_values = 1000L
)

Arguments

n: the observed table (a 2x2 matrix)
gamma: parameter for the Berger and Boos procedure (default=0.0001; gamma=0: no adj)
num_pi_values: number of values to use in the partition of the nuisance parameter space (default=1000)

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.

Note

Somewhat crude code with maximization over a simple partition of the nuisance parameter space into 'num_pi_values' equally spaced values The number may be changed. This method could be improved with a better algorithm for the maximization; however, it works well for most purposes. Try showplot=1 to get an indication of the precision. A refinement of the maximization can be done with a manual restriction of the parameter space.
