Abstract:
Altham proposed Bayesian p-values for the analysis of a 2 × 2 contingency table that is formed from matched pairs. Using the same Bayesian perspective, we develop an extension of Altham's Bayesian p-values to a 2 × 2 table from matched pairs with missing data that are missing at random. The approach is applied to a rater agreement study, in which two surgeon- reviewers rated whether or not there was a communication breakdown in malpractice cases. We also use a simulation study to explore the power and type I error rate of the Bayesian p-values.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
