Abstract:
:Statistical procedures for hypothesis testing and interval estimation of the difference in a pair of Pearl rates are presented. The p value of the test statistic is evaluated exactly from the binomial distribution or approximately from the standard normal distribution. Interval estimation is provided by the test-based method of Miettinen. The procedures are applied to two published data sets, and the conceptual link between the Pearl rate and life-table methods is discussed.
