We propose a Cochran-Armitage-type and a score-free global test that can be used to assess the presence of an association between a set of ordinally scaled covariates and an outcome variable within the range of generalized linear models. Both tests are developed within the framework of the well-established 'global test' methodology and as such are feasible in high-dimensional data situations un...

to effectively support small farmers, an efficient system of technology generating and transforming in agriculture is needed. lack of close and effective interaction among extension organizations and research systems and between various groups of farmers and agricultural organizations is one of the important institutional problems facing the ministries of agriculture in many developing countrie...

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth (Cochran, 2008; Kornman, 2008). They are initiated by periodontopathic bacteria and result in progressive destruction and loss of the periodontium (Cochran, 2008; Kornman, 2008). Progression of periodontal disease eventually leads to tooth loss (Chambrone, et al., 2010). Periodontal diseases are multifactor...

The Cochran-Armitage trend test is a standard procedure in genetic association studies. It is a directed test with high power to detect genetic effects that follow the gene-dosage model. In this paper, the author proposes optimal trend tests for genetic association studies of heterogeneous diseases. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the power gain of the optimal trend tests over the conventiona...
