Abstract

Tests of homogeneity for partially matched-pair data are investigated. Different methods of combining tests of homogeneity based on Pearson chi-square test and McNemar chi-squared test are investigated. Numerical and simulation studies are presented to compare the power of these tests. Data from the National Survey of Children’s Health of 2003 (NSCH) is used to illustrate the methods.
