Abstract:
We consider Bayesian point and interval estimation for a risk ratio of two proportion parameters using two independent samples of binary data subject to misclassification. In order to obtain model identifiability, we apply a double sampling scheme. For the identifiable model, we propose a Bayesian method for statistical inference for a two proportion risk ratio. Specifically, we derive an easy-to-implement closed-form sampling algorithm to draw from the posterior distribution of interest. We demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm for Bayesian inference via Monte Carlo simulation studies and using a real data example.

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...
