Exact: Unconditional Exact Test

Performs unconditional exact tests and power calculations for 2x2 contingency tables. For comparing two independent proportions, performs Barnard's test (1945) <doi:10.1038/156177a0> using the original CSM test (Barnard, 1947 <doi:10.1093/biomet/34.1-2.123>), using Fisher's p-value referred to as Boschloo's test (1970) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9574.1970.tb00104.x>, or using a Z-statistic (Suissa and Shuster, 1985, <doi:10.2307/2981892>). For comparing two binary proportions, performs unconditional exact test using McNemar's Z-statistic (Berger and Sidik, 2003, <doi:10.1191/0962280203sm312ra>), using McNemar's conditional p-value, using McNemar's Z-statistic with continuity correction, or using CSM test. Calculates confidence intervals for the difference in proportion. This package interacts with pre-computed data available through the ExactData R package, which is available in a 'drat' repository. Install the ExactData R package from GitHub at <https://pcalhoun1.github.io/drat/>. The ExactData R package is approximately 85 MB.
