Extensions Of The Concept Of Exchangeability And Their Applications, Phillip I. Good
Extensions Of The Concept Of Exchangeability And Their Applications, Phillip I. Good
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Permutation tests provide exact p-values in a wide variety of practical testing situations. But permutation tests rely on the assumption of exchangeability, that is, under the hypothesis, the joint distribution of the observations is invariant under permutations of the subscripts. Observations are exchangeable if they are independent, identically distributed (i.i.d.), or if they are jointly normal with identical covariances. The range of applications of these exact, powerful, distribution-free tests can be enlarged through exchangeability- preserving transforms, asymptotic exchangeability, partial exchangeability, and weak exchangeability. Original exact tests for comparing the slopes of two regression lines and for the analysis of …

An Unconditional Exact Test For Small Samples Matched Binary Pairs, Robert A. Malkin
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
When investigators have N pairs of binary data, a common test for an increased rate of response is McNemar's test. However, McNemar's is an approximate, conditional test. An exact, unconditional test exists, but requires restrictive assumptions. Critical values and power tables are presented for an exact, unconditional test free of these assumptions.
