Exact Probabilities and Confidence Limits for Binomial Samples: Applied to the Difference between Two Proportions

An exact probabilities method is proposed for computing the confidence limits of medical binomial parameters obtained based on the 2×2 contingency table. The developed algorithm was described and assessed for the difference between two binomial proportions (a bidimensional parameter). The behavior o...
