Practical valid inferences for the twosample binomial problem. A useful equality you can expand both sides to check that they are equal. Conditional linear combination tests for weakly identified. Further more, in the general case, if inference is based on the unconditional distribution of 9, a, it is wellknown that the power of the locally most powerful test and the power of the most.
