This study introduces a new adjustment to the McNemar test for clustered matched-pair data, improving diagnostic performance evaluation. The proposed method offers a consistent variance estimator for complex clustered data, enhancing statistical reliability in clinical studies.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Medical Diagnostics
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Evaluating new diagnostic procedures against standard ones is common.
  • Matched-pair data analysis often uses the McNemar test, assuming independent responses.
  • Clustered matched-pair data, common in dental and ophthalmology, violate this assumption, complicating analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a simple adjustment to the McNemar test for analyzing clustered matched-pair data.
  • To address limitations of existing methods due to unequal cluster sizes and complex correlation structures.
  • To provide a reliable statistical tool for comparing diagnostic procedures in clustered settings.

Main Methods:

  • A novel adjustment to the McNemar test is developed.
