Abstract:
A robust approach for the analysis of experiments with ordered treatment levels is presented as an alternative to existing approaches such as the parametric Abelson-Tukey test for monotone alternatives and the nonparametric Terpstra-Jonckheere test. The method integrates the familiar Spearman rank-order correlation with bootstrap routines to provide magnitude of association measures, p values, and confidence intervals for magnitude of association measures. The advantages of this method relative to five alternative approaches are pointed out.
