'''Conditional logistic regression''' is an extension of [[logistic regression]] that allows one to take into account [[stratification (clinical trials)|stratification]] and [[Matching (statistics)|matching]]. Its main field of application is [[observational studies]] and in particular [[epidemiology]]. It was designed in 1978 by [[Norman Breslow]], [[Nick Day|Nicholas Day]], K. T. Halvorsen, Ross L. Prentice and C. Sabai.<ref name="pmid727199">{{cite journal| author=Breslow NE, Day NE, Halvorsen KT, Prentice RL, Sabai C| title=Estimation of multiple relative risk functions in matched case-control studies. | journal=Am J Epidemiol | year= 1978 | volume= 108 | issue= 4 | pages= 299-307299–307 | pmid=727199 | doi= 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a112623| pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=727199 }} </ref> It is the most flexible and general procedure for matched data.

* [[Paired difference test]] allows to test the association between a binary outcome and a continuous predictor while taking into account pairing.

* [[Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test]] allows to test the association between a binary outcome and a binary predictor while taking into account stratification with arbitrary strata size. When its conditions of application are verified, it is identical to the conditional logistic regression [[score test]].<ref>{{cite journal | author = Day, N. E., Byar, D.
