BhapkarTest | R Documentation |
Bhapkar (1966) tested marginal homogeneity by exploiting the asymptotic normality of marginal proportion, and so this test is also called Bhapkar's test. The idea of constructing test statistic is similar to the
one of generalized McNemar's test statistic used in StuartMaxwellTest
, and the major difference lies in the calculation of elements in
variance-covariance matrix.

Although the Bhapkar and Stuart-Maxwell tests are asymptotically equivalent (Keefe, 1982). Generally, the Bhapkar (1966) test is a more powerful alternative to the Stuart-Maxwell test. With a large N, both will produce the same Chi-square value. As the Bhapkar test is more powerful, it is preferred.
