here is one approach: res <- cbind( c(10, 5, 1, 12, 3, 8, 7, 2, 10, 1), c(90,15,79,38,7,92,13,78,40,9) )
line <- gl(5,1,length=10, labels=LETTERS[1:5]) qa <- gl(2,5) fit <- glm( res ~ line*qa, family=binomial ) summary(fit) anova(fit, test='Chisq') The interaction terms measure the difference between the different combinations of QA method and production line, if they are all 0, then that means the effect of QA is the same accross production lines and the qa main effect measures the difference between the 2 methods (allowing for differences in the prodoction lines), testing if that equals 0 should answer your question.

Let's say we have 5 samples (different size) of IC circuits coming from 5 production lines (A, B, C, D, E). We apply two different non-destructive QA procedures to each sample, producing to sets of binary outcomes (passed: no/yes). So, we have two groups of proportions: QA1 QA2 no/yes no/yes A 10/90 8/92 B 5/15 7/13 C 1/79 2/78 D 12/38 10/40 E 3/7 1/9 How would I test if the two QA procedures in question give significantly different results, at the same time controlling for the possible production line contribution? It looks like there are many variants of multiple proportions tests available in R and various extra packages but none seems to exactly fit this very simple problem. I would appreciate any advice.
