This article considers the problem of testing marginal homogeneity in 2 × 2 contingency tables under the multinomial sampling scheme. From the frequentist perspective, McNemar’s exact p-value (p ME ) is the most commonly used p-value in practice, but it can be conservative for small to moderate sample sizes. On the other hand, from the Bayesian perspective, one can construct Bayesian p-values by using the proper prior and posterior distributions, which are called the prior predictive p-value (pprior) and the posterior predictive p-value (ppost), respectively. Another Bayesian p-value is called the partial posterior predictive p-value (pppost), first proposed by [2], which can avoid the double use of the data that occurs in ppost. For the preceding problem, we derive pprior, ppost, and pppost based on the noninformative uniform prior. Under the criterion of uniformity in the frequentist sense, comparisons among pprior, pME , ppost and pppost are given. Numerical results show that pppost has the best performance for small to moderately large sample sizes.
