Abstract:
Lim and Wolfe (1997, Biometrics 53, 410-418) proposed rank-based multiple test procedures for identifying the dose levels that are more effective than the zero-dose control in randomized complete block designs when it can be assumed that the efficacy of the increasing dose levels is monotonically increasing up to a point, followed by a monotonic decrease. Modifications of the Lim-Wolfe tests are suggested that provide more practical and powerful alternatives. Two numerical examples are illustrated and the results of a Monte Carlo power study are presented.
