Rank-sum Test Based on Order Restricted Randomized Design

چکیده
One of the main principles in a design of experiment is to use blocking factors whenever it is possible. On the other hand, if the blocking information is not precisely defined and subjective in nature, it is usually discarded. This paper introduces a new design that utilizes available subjective information on experimental units to create artificial blocking factors and develops a rank-sum test to test the difference between two population medians.

A powerful and robust test statistic for randomization inference in group-randomized trials with matched pairs of groups.
For group-randomized trials, randomization inference based on rank statistics provides robust, exact inference against nonnormal distributions. However, in a matched-pair design, the currently available rank-based statistics lose significant power compared to normal linear mixed model (LMM) test statistics when the LMM is true. In this article, we investigate and develop an optimal test statist...

In order to evaluate the stability and response of advanced lines of grass pea under rainfed conditions, fourteen lines were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications at three research stations located in Khoram Abad, Kermanshah and Gachsaran during 2005-2008. Based on combined ANOVA analysis the effects of line, year × location, line × location and line × year × loc...
متن کاملSample size determination based on rank tests in clinical trials.
The problem of sample size determination based on three commonly used non-parametric rank based tests, namely, one-sample Wilcoxon's rank sum test, two-sample's Wilcoxon's rank sum test, and the rank-based test for independence is studied. Explicit formulas for variabilities of the test statistics under the alternative hypotheses are derived. Consequently, close forms of power functions of thes...

متن کاملApplications of extensions of bivariate rank sum statistics to the crossover design to compare two treatments through four sequence groups.
This article describes applications of extensions of bivariate rank sum statistics to the crossover design with four sequence groups for two treatments. A randomized clinical trial in ophthalmology provides motivating background for the discussion. The bilateral design for this study has four sequence groups T:T, T:P, P:T, and P:P, respectively, for T as test treatment or P as placebo in the co...
