I hope looking at that again you will see how odd it sounds to be requesting advice about how to use a program for 2 x 2 tables on data that doesn't meet those requirements. If you want to stay within the Epi package world, you can probably use the 'mh' function since it says it can handle multi-way tables (or you can learn to use 'glm' in the regular stats package to do either logistic regression or Poisson regression.) > > For example: > I have 4 level var (Age) > m=matrix(c(290, 100,232, 201, 136, 99, 182, 240), nrow=4, ncol=2) > library (Epi) > twoby2(m) > > R gives me only > Comparing : Row 1 vs. Row 2 > > While I would like to have reference value in Row 1, and compare Row 2, Row > 3 and Row 4 with it. That is the default set of contrasts for 'glm' (and probably for 'mh' although it's not clear from the help page.)
