McNemar is good for paired data. See
?mcnemar.test

You need to get your data into the form of a matrix (e.g., help example), and you will need data organized by concordant and discordant pairing.

This means that you will need to organize your data differently than you show us:
# pairs YES YES pre-post
# pairs YES NO pre-post
# pairs NO-YES pre-post
# pairs NO-NO pre-post0

Finally, you will need to decide whether to apply the usual continuity correction with your sample size (TRUE by default).

Subject: [R] Using McNemar's test to detect shifts in response from pre- topost-treatment


Hello Everyone,

I've been asked to check if there is a significant difference in the following:

Pre Post
Group A 15/19 14/19
Group B 14/19 10/19

My sense is that I need to perform McNemar's test on these data because responses are correlated within patient from the pre-test to the post-test.

The question is how to do this. I'm a SAS user who is learning R. I'm not sure how to do this in SAS and am even less certain about how to do it in R. The R books I have don't seem to cover this. At this point, I'm not even sure if the information I've been given is what I needed to perform the test.

If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
