Nonparametric Analysis of Covariance with Ordered Alternatives
有序备择下的非参数协方差分析
SUMMARY The problem of comparing k populations with respect to a univariate response variable Y against an ordered alternative is considered when a covariate X is taken into account using the matched-observations method of Quade (1982). Two test statistics are considered: one is Quade's statistic generalized for arbitrary k and the second is the Terpstra-Jonckheere statistic generalized for grouped data. Some simulations are carried out to study their small sample…
