Test.Mono {Surrogate}

Test whether the data are compatible with monotonicity for S and/or T (binary endpoints)

Description

For some situations, the observable marginal probabilities contain sufficient information to exclude a particular monotonicity scenario. For example, under monotonicity for S and T, one of the restrictions that the data impose is \pi_{0111}<min(\pi_{0 \cdot 1 \cdot}, \pi_{\cdot 1 \cdot 1}). If the latter condition does not hold in the dataset at hand, monotonicity for S and T can be excluded.

Usage

Test.Mono(pi1_1_, pi0_1_, pi1_0_, pi_1_1, pi_1_0, pi_0_1)

Arguments

pi1_1_

A scalar that contains P(T=1,S=1|Z=0).

pi0_1_

A scalar that contains P(T=0,S=1|Z=0).

pi1_0_

A scalar that contains P(T=1,S=0|Z=0).

pi_1_1

A scalar that contains P(T=1,S=1|Z=1).

pi_1_0

A scalar that contains P(T=1,S=0|Z=1).

pi_0_1

A scalar that contains P(T=0,S=1|Z=1).
