Abstract: We present the package distdicho, which contains a range of commands covering the present development of the distributional method for the dichotomization of continuous outcomes. The method provides estimates with standard error of a comparison of proportions (difference, odds ratio, and risk ratio) derived, with similar precision, from a comparison of means.
