Abstract:
The win ratio, a recently proposed measure for comparing the benefit of two treatment groups, allows ties in the data but ignores ties in the inference. In this article, we highlight some difficulties that this can lead to, and we propose to focus on the win odds instead, a modification of the win ratio which takes ties into account. We construct hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for the win odds, and we investigate their properties through simulations and in a case study. We conclude that the win odds should be preferred over the win ratio.

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...
