Description

Computes a continuity-corrected McNemar test for equality of proportions in a paired-samples design. This function requires the frequency counts from a 2 x 2 contingency table for two paired dichotomous measurements.

Usage

test.prop.ps(f00, f01, f10, f11)

Arguments

f00	number participants with y = 0 and x = 0
f01	number participants with y = 0 and x = 1
f10	number participants with y = 1 and x = 0
f11	number participants with y = 1 and x = 1

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

• Estimate - ML estimate of proportion difference

• z - z test statistic

• p - p-value
