title: Mantel-Haenszel-type tests for testing equivalence or more than equivalence in comparative clinical trials.
abstract: This paper proposes Mantel-Haenszel-type statistics for testing whether a new treatment is at least as effective as the standard treatment in comparative binomial trials. The null hypotheses considered are of a specified nonzero difference and of a ratio not equal to unity. It is shown that we may also use these tests for testing the equivalence of two treatments.
