For matched-pair binary data, a variety of approaches have been proposed for the construction of a confidence interval (CI) for the difference of marginal probabilities between two procedures. The score-based approximate CI has been shown to outperform other asymptotic CIs. Tango's method provides a score CI by inverting a score test statistic using an iterative procedure. In this paper, we propose an efficient non-iterative method with closed-form expression to calculate Tango's CIs. Examples illustrate the practical application of the new approach.
对于配对二项数据，已经提出了多种方法来构建两种方法之间边际概率差的置信区间（CI）。基于得分的近似 CI 已被证明优于其他渐近 CI。Tango 方法通过使用迭代过程反转得分检验统计量来提供得分 CI。在本文中，我们提出了一种有效的非迭代方法，具有闭式表达式来计算 Tango 的 CI。实例说明了新方法的实际应用。
