Barnard's Unconditional Test

Description

This package implements the barnard.test function for performing Barnard's unconditional test of superiority. This is a more powerful alternative of Fisher's exact test for 2x2 contingency tables. The test, in its current implementation, uses Wald statistics as a measure of difference between two binomial proportions.
