McNemar test on paired proportions

	Positive	Negative
Positive
Negative

Description

The McNemar test is a test on a 2x2 classification table when the two classification factors are dependent, or when you want to test the difference between paired proportions, e.g. in studies in which patients serve as their own control, or in studies with "before and after" design. See MedCalc manual: McNemar test.

Results

The program gives the difference between the proportions (expressed as a percentage) with 95% confidence interval. When the (two-sided) P-value is less than the conventional 0.05, the conclusion is that there is a significant difference between the two proportions.

Computational notes

The two-sided P-value is based on the cumulative binomial distribution.

The 95% confidence interval is calculated according to Sheskin, 2011.
