I need to compare 2 different tests on known cancer patients. Should I use both tests on all patients and use McNemara's/Liddell's/Kappa/Fisher's Exact test or group them and compare between the 2 groups using chi-square? Are there any differences in the reliability of the results? And how do I chose among the alternatives above? Thank you in advance for any help you may provide
