McNemar's test reliability












0














I am wondering how reliable the statistical significant McNemar test is. I am perplexed by the fact that elements of the main diagonal do not contribute to the outcome of rejection or not of the null hypothesis.



Let's imagine I have the following table



enter image description here



which gives me a X^2 = 41 which will clearly reject the null hypothesis.



Now I have the following table



enter image description here



The outcome will be the same. Is this test reliable? what is an alternative to this test.
