cox.stuart.test {webr}

Cox-Stuart test for trend analysis The Cox-Stuart test is defined as a little powerful test (power equal to 0.78), but very robust for the trend analysis. It is therefore applicable to a wide variety of situations, to get an idea of the evolution of values obtained. The proposed method is based on the binomial distribution. This function was written by Tommaso Martino<[e-mail]> (See 'References')
