摘要
This paper describes a method and associated computer program for calculating exact confidence limits and P values, along with the conditional maximum likelihood estimate of the common odds ratio for a series of 2 X 2 tables. The program can be used to calculate exact estimates for matched data and is considerably faster than others currently available.
