This study introduces a new signed-rank test for clustered paired data, outperforming existing methods in maintaining statistical accuracy and power. The novel test is crucial for analyzing complex biological and medical data with clustered observations.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Methods
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Comparing paired outcome measures is common in research.
  • Clustered data structures require specialized statistical approaches.
  • Existing signed-rank tests may lack accuracy with clustered data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel signed-rank test for clustered paired data.
  • To evaluate the performance of the new test against existing methods.
  • To address the challenge of informative cluster sizes in statistical comparisons.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel signed-rank test based on within-cluster resampling.
  • Simulation studies to compare the proposed test with four existing signed-rank tests.
  • Analysis of radiation toxicity data to demonstrate practical application.

Main Results:

  • The proposed signed-rank test maintains correct statistical size under marginal symmetry, unlike other tests.
  • The new test demonstrates adequate statistical power when cluster size is noninformative.
  • The method effectively handles situations where cluster size is informative.

Conclusions:

  • The novel signed-rank test is a reliable tool for comparing clustered paired data.
  • This method offers improved accuracy and power in statistical comparisons involving clustered observations.
  • The approach has practical utility in fields like medical research, exemplified by radiation toxicity analysis.
