“Stratified Fisher’s exact test and its sample size calculation” by Sin-Ho Jung Biometrical Journal (2014) 56(1): 129–140 Article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/bimj.201300048
Jung (2014) recently proposed a conditional exact test for testing the hypotheses of the Mantel– Haenszel test for stratified 2 × 2 tables, as well as the procedure for determining the sample size. The procedure is welcome because, in part, fills an important gap in applied statistics. However, the Jung test is not new, since it was proposed by Birch (1964). Agresti (1992) provides several references on this test and on programs that allow determining its p-value. In particular, the p-value for this test can be obtained on http://www.openepi.com/Menu/OE_Menu.htm (option “Two by Two Table”).
