You're right, I did not read close enough and thought that there were 2 seperate groups from each production line, not the same group and based the analysis on that. With the same items being tested with both methods the information on the individual items should be included (either as a fixed effect in a logistic regression model, or possibly better as a mixed effects model). Either way there needs to be more detail on the individual items, not just the summaries presented.

Which makes the methods effectively independent of the nature of the item being assessed! Not much actual quality being assured there! cheers, Rolf Turner On 10/06/2008, at 2:57 PM, Greg Snow wrote: > 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. > > Hope this helps, > > > ________________________________________ > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Ivan Adzhubey [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 4:28 PM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] Comparing two groups of proportions > > Hi, > > I have a seemingly common problem but I can't find a proper way to > approach > it.
