McNemar's test of symmetry
Notes
McNemar's test of symmetry is appropriate for parallel measures from matched cases as well as for repeated measures on a single set of cases. In this case, McNemar's test of symmetry is equivalent to Cochran's Q.Siegel, S. Nonparametric Methods for the Behavioral Sciences. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1956. p. 63 (when both variables are two-point scales, McNemar's test of symmetry and McNemar's test for the significance of changes are equivalent); Bowker, A. H., A test for symmetry in contingency tables. Journal of the American Statistical Association 43 (1948): 572-574.
