Abstract

An exact probability test for the comparison of cure-rate (or any other 2-category response variable) among 3 treatments is presented in detail. Extension of the method to larger contingency tables is shown. The exact method should be used if the sample size for a particular investigation is small and/or when the chi-square test gives a probability level near borderline statistical significance.
