Introduction
The Cochran Mantel Haenzel test has problems
of inconsistency with output if data pertaining to y=0 is input
before y=1 in the ‘datalines’ of the code. The output gives

reciprocal answers with respect to y=1 and y=0. The CMH test does
give output when adjusting for a Nx2x2 data set but not 2xNx2
when N>2. One can use logistic regression with SAS utilizing proc Modification
logistic, but this only yields an odds ratio, no relative risks. My
technique utilizes the slope of vectors to calculate parameter
estimates which can be used to give OR’s and RR’s. Also, I
devised a new way to calculate p values for testing effect
