Dear R Users, Is the p-value reported in a two-tailed binomial exact test in error or is it a feature? If it is a feature, could someone provide a reference for its two-tailed p-value computations? Using Blaker's (2000 - Canad. J. Statist 28: 783-798) approach,the p-value is the minimum of the two-tailed probabilities $P \left(Y\geq y_{obs}\right)$ and $P\left(Y\leq y_{obs}\right)$

Hi all, I have just uploaded a new package to the ftp site called exact2x2. The package does exact conditional tests for 2x2 tables. Specifically, it does Fisher's exact test and Blaker's exact test (see Blaker, 2000, Canadian Journal of Statistics, 783-798). The motivation for the package is to have inferences from p-values and confidence intervals match as much as is possible for the

Hi all, I have updated the exact2x2 package which calculates exact conditional tests and the matching confidence intervals for 2x2 tables. The big change in the update is to allow the option paired=TRUE which gives an exact McNemar's test together with odds ratio estimates and confidence intervals. See vignette("exactMcNemar") for details. The original release is described in the

Hi all, I have updated the exact2x2 package. The update corrects an error that can sometimes occur in the confidence intervals when the number of counts are large and tsmethod="minlike". In addition to fixing the bug, the correction gives a much faster method for calculating the confidence interval. The package gives exact confidence intervals that match the p-values for Fisher's

Based on simulations, I've come up with a simple function to compute the confidence interval for the variance of the binomial variance, where the true variance is v = rho*(1-rho)/n where rho = true probability of success and n = # of trials. For x = # successes observed in n trials, p = x / n as usual. For p < 0.25 or p > 0.75, I use the proportion-based transformed confidence
