Treatment effect heterogeneity in paired data
Department of Statistics, University of Oxford Oxford OX1 3TG, U.K.
Data from matched pairs are often analysed under the assumption that treatment effects are homogeneous. We develop tests of this assumption, with Poisson and binomial examples. Mixture models for inference when overdispersion is present are investigated, with stress on matched pairs of counts.
