Where do I take the McNemar test?
The McNemar test is a non-parametric test for paired nominal data. It’s used when you are interested in finding a change in proportion for the paired data. For example, you could use this test to analyze retrospective case-control studies, where each treatment is paired with a control.
What is a paired chi square test?
In statistics, McNemar’s test is a statistical test used on paired nominal data. It is applied to 2 × 2 contingency tables with a dichotomous trait, with matched pairs of subjects, to determine whether the row and column marginal frequencies are equal (that is, whether there is “marginal homogeneity”).

What is the difference between McNemar’s test and the chi squared test?
The typical short explanation for McNemar’s test is either that it is: ‘a within-subjects chi-squared test’, or that it is ‘a test of the marginal homogeneity of a contingency table’. I find neither of these to be very helpful.
What is the null hypothesis of the McNemar test?
The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between recovery rates between the two measurements. Because our variable has two or more possible values (yes/no), and our two groups are paired (repeated measures from the same group), we know that the McNemar Test is appropriate to use. The analysis will result in a p-value.
What is the McNemar score for lung cancer?
The McNemar χ 2 of 4.92 exceeds the critical χ 2 with 1 df, 3.84, and is thus statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Is Smoking Associated with Lung Cancer?
