Given that you expect some cells to be small, it should not be a severe task to draw up a list of (a1,b1) values which correspond to rejection of the null hypothesis (that both ORs equal 1), and then the simulation using different values of the two odds-ratios will give you the power for each such pair of odds-ratios. The main technical difficulty will be simulation of random tables, conditional on the marginals, with the probabilities as given above. I don't know of a good suggestion for this.
r2dtable(). If this is a power calculation, though, you probably want to fix only one margin, which is a much simpler problem, and if the table is not too large it would not be difficult to compute the exact probability for each element of the sample space and so get exact power. -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.
