Test of Trend in Count Data: Multinomial Distribution Case
计数数据的趋势检验:多项分布情形
Given k multinomial probabilities pi (Σ pi = 1), let pi be a known continuous function f (wi, πi ) of a known weight constant wi and an unknown constant π i . The function f is assumed strictly monotone in π. The maximin statistic for testing the homogeneity of the π i 's versus a trend in the π i 's is derived. The Armitage statistic for testing linear trend is maximin for a certain alternative hypothesis space. The methods are applied to lying habit data (Maxwell 1961),…
