A simulation study of the size and power of Cochran’s Q versus the standard Chi-square test for testing the equality of correlated proportionsGayle, Suelen S. January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Statistics / Paul I. Nelson / The standard Chi-square test for the equality of proportions of positive responses to c
specified binary questions is valid when the observed responses arise from independent random
samples of units. When the responses to all c questions are recorded on the same unit, a situation
called correlated proportions, the assumptions under which this test is derived are no longer
valid. Under the additional assumption of compound symmetry, the Cochran-Q test is a valid
test for the equality of proportions of positive responses. The purpose of this report is to use
simulation to examine and compare the performance of the Cochran-Q test and the standard Chisquare
test when testing for the equality of correlated proportions. It is found that the Cochran-Q
test is superior to the Chi-square test in terms of size and power, especially when the common
correlation among the binary responses is large.
