Asymptotic Cochran-Armitage trend test
Description
catt_asy calculates the Cochran-Armitage trend test statistic (Cochran (1954), Armitage (1955)) and the one-sided p-value for the corresponding asymptotic test.
The exact form of used test statistic can be found in the paper by Portier and Hoel (1984).
Usage
catt_asy(dose.ratings, totals, cases)
Arguments
dose.ratings |
A vector of dose ratings, the i-th entry corresponds to the dose-rating of the i-th group. This vector must be strictly monotonically increasing |
totals |
The vector of total individuals per group, the i-th entry corresponds to the total number of individuals in the i-th group |
cases |
The vector of incidences per groups, the i-th entry corresponds to the number of incidences in the i-th group |
Value
A list containing the value of the Cochran-Armitage Trend Test Statistic and its asymptotic p-value.
