This study introduces a new statistical method for comparing proportions across multiple independent binomial samples. The recommended approach offers improved accuracy for measures like odds ratios, especially with small sample sizes.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Inference
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Comparing proportions is crucial in various scientific fields.
  • Existing methods for simultaneous confidence intervals can be inaccurate, particularly with small sample sizes or for specific measures like odds ratios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel method for constructing simultaneous confidence intervals for comparing proportions from independent binomial samples.
  • To assess the performance of this method for different measures, including difference of proportions, odds ratio, and relative risk.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method utilizes the studentized range distribution with a score statistic.
  • Simulations were conducted to compare its coverage probability against established methods like Bonferroni-Wald and exact pairwise intervals.

Main Results:

  • The new method demonstrates coverage probabilities closer to nominal values for odds ratios compared to ad hoc approaches.
  • It performs effectively even with small binomial parameters, a common practical scenario.
  • For the difference of proportions, its performance is comparable to existing advanced methods.

Conclusions:

  • The recommended method provides a robust and accurate approach for constructing simultaneous confidence intervals for comparing proportions.
  • It offers a superior alternative, particularly for odds ratios and in situations with small sample sizes.
