Title: | An exact trend test for correlated binary data | Authors: | Corcoran, Christopher Ryan, Louise Mehta, Cyrus Senchaudhuri, Pralay Patel, Nitin MOLENBERGHS, Geert |
Issue Date: | 2001 | Publisher: | INTERNATIONAL BIOMETRIC SOC | Source: | Biometrics, 57(3). p. 941-948 | Abstract: | The problem of testing a dose-response relationship in the presence of exchangeably correlated binary data has been addressed using a variety of models. Most commonly used approaches are derived from likelihood or generalized estimating equations and rely on large-sample theory to justify their inferences. However, while earlier work has determined that these methods may perform poorly for small or sparse samples, there are few alternatives available to those faced with such data. We propose an exact trend test for exchangeably correlated binary data when groups of correlated observations are ordered. This exact approach is based on an exponential model derived by Molenberghs and Ryan (1999) and Ryan and Molenberghs (1999) and provides natural analogues to Fisher's exact test and the binomial trend test when the data are correlated. We use a graphical method with which one can efficiently compute the exact tail distribution and apply the test to two examples. | Keywords: | binary data; clustered data; exact test; network algorithm | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/387 | ISSN: | 0006-341X | e-ISSN: | 1541-0420 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.0006-341X.2001.00941.x | ISI #: | 000170732400036 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2002 |
