New content:

  • Binomial test in SAS – noted comp page missing, so Jaskaran volunteered to do comparison page & Cochran mantel haenzel test in python.

  • Sample size Cochran Armitage test for trend in R and SAS/StatXact

  • Added to the Friedman Test

  • Sample size Equivalence R & SAS.

  • Working group on confidence intervals & new package development (GSK Pfizer & roche doing CI’s for proportions). Cardx ones will move into citools (and come out of cardx as that should be manipulation only), and will add other methods such as CI stratified MN. DescTools is a wide ranging package so harder to validate for a GxP validated environment, so taking the CI’s from this package into a separate citools package. One stop place for all CIs for proportions and will have some odds ratios too.

  • Poisson / negative binomial regression still needed - Lyn to do in July if poss
