Summary

This chapter presents binomial methods for analysing data from a closed cohort study in which a single sample of subjects is followed for an endpoint of interest. One of the aims is to compare exact and asymptotic methods in this relatively straightforward setting, thus providing the conceptual basis for more complicated analyses presented in later chapters.

The section and subsection headings of the chapter are as follows:

  • Exact Methods

    • Hypothesis Test

    • A Critique of p-Values and Hypothesis Tests

    • Confidence Interval

  • Asymptotic Methods

    • No Transformation

      • Point Estimate

      • Confidence Interval

      • Hypothesis Test

    • Odds and Log-Odds Transformations

      • Point Estimate

      • Confidence Interval

      • Hypothesis Test
