Abstract:
For the problem of testing for a monotonic trend between an ordinal exposure and a binary response while controlling for categorical cofactors, we derived stratified and adjusted versions of two single contrast tests. Using simulations, we compared their statistical properties to those of the commonly used stratified Mantel-extension trend (MET) test. All tests had high power in case of monotonic relationships between exposure and response. In case of non-monotonic relationships, the stratified and adjusted contrast tests were markedly less powerful than the stratified MET-test particularly for five exposure levels, a favourable feature when the aim is to test for the existence of a monotonic dose-response relationship. These results are illustrated by an example.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
