Abstract

In this note we study, by simulation, small sample performance in terms of size of ten procedures for testing the homogeneity of odds ratios in K 2 x 2 contingency tables. These ten statistics are derived for 'large-stratum' settings. Our study concerns the behaviour of these statistics for 'small-stratum' settings.
