Bayesian Equivalence Testing and Meta-Analysis in Two-Arm Trials with Binary Data

We consider a Bayesian approach for assessing hypotheses of equivalence in two-arm trials with binary Data. We discuss the development of likelihood, the prior, and the posterior distributions of parameters of interest. We then examine the suitability of a normal approximation to the posterior distr...
