A Simple Approach to Testing Homogeneity of Order-Constrained Means
检验顺序约束均值齐性的简便方法
The likelihood-ratio test for equality of partially ordered means, first proposed by Bartholomew, is known to possess power characteristics that are generally superior to those of competing procedures. A limitation of this test, however, is that the null distribution of the test statistic is heavily dependent on both the specific form of the order restriction and the group sample sizes. It is not readily available for most orderings, especially when the group sample sizes…
