Nonparametric Testing for Dose-Response Curves Subject to Downturns: Asymptotic Power Considerations
允许高剂量响应下降的剂量反应曲线非参数检验:渐近功效
Dose-response experiments are widely used in scientific research and nonmonotone dose-response curves are commonly observed. A class of nonparametric tests for dose-response curves subject to downturns at high doses is examined via its asymptotic properties. This class includes the well-known Jonckheere-Terpstra test as a limiting case. The analysis indicates that the Jonckheere-Terpstra test lacks robustness to a downturn in the dose-response, and that other members of the…
