Abstract:

Altham (1971) proposed a Bayesian analysis of a 2 x 2 contingency table formed from matched pairs. Using the same Bayesian perspective, we develop an extension of Altham's Bayesian methods to a 2 x 2 table from matched pairs with missing data and under an ignorable missing data mechanism. In particular, we develop a Bayesian p-value similar to the p-value from McNemar's test, which, unlike McNemar's test, incorporates the missing data into the analysis. We use a simulation study to explore the power and Type I error rate of our proposed test statistic.
