    Attached are a couple of ten-year-old ado-files that do that.

    The first (fmi.do) performs a test of noninferiority and is called by the second (fmci.ado), which gives a confidence interval. There's no help file, but instructions for use are in the first as a comment.

    I was in the process of converting them over to Mata for use as a score-test partitioning criterion in an exact test of noninferiority, but have since had an epiphany and now believe that so-called exact tests are anathema to proper frequentist method inasmuch as they encourage ad hoc p-hacking with opportunistic and inadequately sized datasets.

    I don't recall anymore, but I think that I verified them on worked examples in the literature. Still, no warranties on either.
