    How to calculate

    Use only the off-diagonal discordant counts for a paired marginal-symmetry test; keep concordant cells in the descriptive table.

    Exact p=min(1,2×P[Binomial(b+c,0.5)≤min(b,c)]); χ²=(b−c)²/(b+c)

    Worked example

    Discordant cells b=8,c=2 give exact two-sided p=0.109375. Concordant cells do not affect that p-value. Uncorrected chi-square is 3.6.

    Assumptions and input details

    Counts are nonnegative whole numbers up to 1e7 per cell, with at most 20000 discordant pairs b+c. The table must represent the same paired subjects/items under two binary measurements. Exact tails are inclusive, with no mid-p adjustment. Zero discordance leaves the test undefined. Approximate p-values are additionally labeled with/without the statsmodels continuity correction (|b−c|−1)²/(b+c). This is not an independent-samples contingency or treatment-effect estimate.

    Using this calculator

    Can I enter my own problem?

    Yes. Replace the example values with your own inputs. The result, calculation steps, tables and applicable diagrams update from those inputs. Blank or invalid values clear the result; example values are never silently substituted for missing inputs.

    Are the results exact?

    Results use floating-point arithmetic and displayed rounding. Read the formula, assumptions and any stated data precision before interpreting the result.

    Is my input uploaded?

    The calculation runs in your browser. No account, file upload or external AI service is required. Inputs are not saved between page reloads.
