Several statistics are considered for creating confidence intervals for the difference of two proportions in the mixed paired and unpaired design. Five new estimators are introduced and compared against the estimators proposed by Derrick (2015). An interval incorporating the adjustment of Agresti and Caffo (2000) is the recommended estimator for comparing proportions in the mixed paired and unpaired design.References
