Abstract
A frequently used experimental design is one in which the experimental units are measured twice (e.g., under different test conditions). When the response variable is dichotomous, the equality of the two proportions is usually assessed by a test due to McNemar (1947) . However, in addition to obtaining this complete data where two responses are available for each unit, incomplete data may be available also: In this case observations are available on the first response alone for some units and additional observations are available on the second response alone for other units. In this paper Bayesian methods are presented for estimating and testing hypotheses regarding the two success probabilities in light of both the complete and incomplete data. A method by which the prior distribution may be assessed is sketched and a numerical example to illustrate the method is presented.
