SO.LRT {CorrBin}R Documentation

Likelihood-ratio test statistic

Description

SO.LRT computes the likelihood ratio test statistic for stochastic ordering against equality assuming marginal compatibility for both alternatives. Note that this statistic does not have a \chi^2 distribution, so the p-value computation is not straightforward. The SO.trend.test function implements a permutation-based evaluation of the p-value for the likelihood-ratio test.

Usage

SO.LRT(cbdata, control = soControl())

Arguments

cbdata

a CBData object

control

an optional list of control settings, usually a call to soControl. See there for the names of the settable control values and their effect.

Value

The value of the likelihood ratio test statistic is returned with two attributes:

ll0

the log-likelihood under H_0 (equality)

ll1

the log-likelihood under H_a (stochastic order)
