Tests of Independence, Treatment Heterogeneity Dose-Related Trend with Exchangeable Binary Data
可交换二元数据的独立性、处理异质性与剂量趋势检验
Existing methods of testing for treatment effects for clustered binary data include the beta-binomial, quasilikelihood GEE procedures. All of these methods revolve around the mean response and the second-order correlation. However, these two parameters alone do not fully determine the effect of treatment. This article develops nonparametric likelihood ratio procedures to test for independence, heterogeneity dose-related trend in dose—response studies involving exchangeable…
