In randomized complete block designs, a monotonic relationship among treatment groups may already be established from prior information, e.g., a study with different dose levels of a drug. The test statistic developed by Page and another from Jonckheere and Terpstra are two unweighted rank based tests used to detect ordered alternatives when the assumptions in the traditional two-way analysis of variance are not satisfied. We consider a new weighted rank based test by utilizing a weight for each subject based on the sample variance in computing the new test statistic. The new weighted rank based test is compared with the two commonly used unweighted tests with regard to power under various conditions. The weighted test is generally more powerful than the two unweighted tests when the number of treatment groups is small to moderate.  相似文献

A nonparametric test procedure is proposed for the analysis of randomized complete block designs. Such a procedure may be carried out graphically in the form of a Shewhart control chart. Exact and asymptotic critical values are given for the implementation of the proposed procedure. A Monte Carlo study is made to compare the powers of the proposed procedure to those of analysis of variance, the analysis of means, and the Friedman procedures. Results of the study indicate that the proposed procedure has superior power performance when testing against slippage alternative hypotheses under heavy-tailed distributions such as the Cauchy distribution. However, when testing against symmetric alternatives under light-tailed distributions, the proposed procedure does not perform well  相似文献

This paper is concerned with the ranking-after-alignment procedure, the alignment being made on the mean, in randomized block designs. The asymptotic efficiencies, as the number of blocks goes to infinity, of a class of aligned-rank tests, relative to the maximin most powerful test based on aligned observations, are established and studied. Some asymptotic efficiencies under doubleexponentiality are also obtained using Monte Carlo methods.  相似文献

In the present investigation, the unconditional asymptotic distribution of a class of aligned rank order test statistics for randomized block designs is derived under the null hypothesis and for nearby alternatives, as the number of blocks tends to infinity. The proofs of these results are based on the asymptotic equivalence in quadratic mean between aligned observations and their ranks and thus are quite similar to the Hájek and SKidák (1967) approach.  相似文献

The standard nonparametric, rank-based approach to the analysis of dependent data from factorial designs is based on an estimated unstructured (UN) variance–covariance matrix, but the large number of variance–covariance terms in many designs can seriously affect test performance. In a simulation study for a factorial arranged in blocks, we compared estimates of type-I error probability and power based on the UN structure with the estimates obtained with a more parsimonious heterogeneous-compound-symmetry structure (CSH). Although tests based on the UN structure were anti-conservative with small number of factor levels, especially with four or six blocks, they became conservative at higher number of factor levels. Tests based on the CSH structure were anti-conservative, and results did not depend on the number of factor levels. When both tests were anti-conservative, tests based on the CSH structure were less so. Although use of the CSH structure is concluded to be more suitable than use of the UN structure for the small number of blocks typical in agricultural experiments, results suggest that further improvement of test statistics is needed for such situations.  相似文献

Some incomplete block designs for partial diallel crosses have been given in the literature. These designs are obtained by regarding the number of crosses as treatments, and consequently require several replications of each cross. The need for resorting to a partial diallel cross itself implies that it is desired to have fewer crosses. A method for constructing single replicate incomplete block designs for circulant partial diallel crosses is provided in this paper. The designs are orthogonal, and thus they retain full efficiency for estimation of the contrasts of interest.  相似文献

We studied the behavior of a statistic that tests for treatment effects in incomplete block designs, Simulation was used to estimate the first four moments of a test statistic that combines intra- and inter-block estimates of treatment contrasts. For a wide range of alternative hypotheses, the moments are remarkably close to those of an F distribution with one degree of freedom in the numerator, and the denominator degrees of freedom equal to that of the mean square error in the usual intra-block analysis, The noncentrality parameter depends upon the block and unit variances and the eigenvalues of the incidence matrix of the design, The power of the test statistic can be estimated from standard power function charts.  相似文献

Historical linguistics needs procedures to evaluate the similarity between languages through the comparison of specific word lists drawn from the whole vocabulary. The main issue is to evaluate a fair threshold for the number of similar items beyond which it is sensible to reject the hypothesis of chance similarity. After a short review of papers dealing with that problem, in this paper an extension of those methods is proposed which exploits available data in a more efficient way. In particular, the exact distribution of the new test statistics is calculated and the power of the new procedure is compared with the power of the existing method.  相似文献

Tests based on ranks and the F-test are compared for block designs with n observations per block-treatment combination. Com-parisons are made on level of significance and on power. Rank tests examined include the Friedman as well as those using aligned ranks, weighted ranks, and the rank transformation. It is seen that the performance of these tests in relationship to each other depends on sample size, distribution of the random error term, and the severity of the block effects.  相似文献

Abstract

We study optimal block designs for comparing a set of test treatments with a control treatment. We provide the class of all E-optimal approximate block designs, which is characterized by simple linear constraints. Based on this characterization, we obtain a class of E-optimal exact designs for unequal block sizes. In the studied model, we provide a statistical interpretation for wide classes of E-optimal designs. Moreover, we show that all approximate A-optimal designs and a large class of A-optimal exact designs for treatment-control comparisons are also R-optimal. This reinforces the observation that A-optimal designs perform well even for rectangular confidence regions.  相似文献

A method is proposed for block randomization of treatments to experimental units that can accommodate both multiple quantitative blocking variables and unbalanced designs. Hierarchical clustering in conjunction with leaf‐order optimization is used to block experimental units in multivariate space. The method is illustrated in the context of a diabetic mouse assay. A simulation study is presented to explore the utility of the proposed randomization method relative to that of a completely randomized approach, both in the presence and absence of covariate adjustment. An example R function is provided to illustrate the implementation of the method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

This paper presents systematic methods of construction of optimal block designs for a double cross experiments for both even and odd values of “p” parental lines. The both even and odd values of designs are derived by using initial block of unreduced balanced incomplete block designs and initial block of row–column designs given by Bose et al. (1953 Bose, R.C., Shrikhande, S.S., Bhattacharya, K.N. (1953). On the construction of group divisible incomplete block design. Ann. Math. Stat. 24:167195.[Crossref] [Google Scholar]) and Gupta and Choi (1998 Gupta, S., Choi, K.C. (1998). Optimal row-column designs for complete diallel crosses. Commun. Stat. Theory Methods 27(11):28272835.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]), respectively. In this attempt we have found some new universally optimal block designs for double cross experiments.  相似文献

This study investigates the small sample powers of several tests designed against ordered location alternatives in randomized block experiments. The results are intended to aid the researcher in the selection process. Toward this end the small sample powers of three classes of rank tests — tests based on ‘within-blocks’ rankings (W-tests), ‘among-b locks’ rankings (A-tests), and ‘ranking after alignment’ within blocks (RAA-tests)— are compared and contrasted with the asymptotic properties given by Pirie (1974) as well as with the empirical powers of competing parametric procedures.  相似文献

The construction of universally optimal designs, if such exist, is difficult to obtain, especially when there are some nuisance effects or correlated errors. The hub correlation is a special correlation structure with applications to experiments in genetics, networks and other areas in industry and agriculture. There may be restrictions on the correlation values of the hub structure depending on the experiment. Optimality of block designs under hub correlation has been studied for the case of a constant correlation value. In this article, we consider the hub structure when one of the correlation values is different from the others, and the universally optimal block designs, binary or non-binary, are theoretically obtained. Also, we introduce an algorithm to construct the optimal designs. The Canadian Journal of Statistics 48: 596–604; 2020 © 2020 Statistical Society of Canada  相似文献

Judges rank k out of t objects according to m replic ations of abasic balanced incomplete block design with bblocks. In Alvo and Cabilio(1991),it is shown that the Durbin test, which is the usual test in this situation, can be written in terms of Spearman correlations between the blocks, and using a Kendall correlation, they generated a new statistic for this situation.This Kendall tau based statistic has a richer support than the Durbin statistic, and is at least as efficient.In the present paper,exact and simulation based tables are generated for both statistics, and various approximations to these null distributions are considered and compared.  相似文献

The theory and properties of trend-free (TF) and nearly trend-free (NTF) block designs are wel1 developed. Applications have been hampered because a methodology for design construction has not been available.

This article begins with a short review of concepts and properties of TF and NTF block designs. The major contribution is provision of an algorithm for the construction of linear and nearly linear TF block designs. The algorithm is incorporated in a computer program in FORTRAN 77 provided in an appendix for the IBM PC or compatible microcomputer, a program adaptable also to other computers. Three sets of block designs generated by the program are given as examples.

A numerical example of analysis of a linear trend-free balanced incomplete block design is provided.  相似文献

We study the optimality, efficiency, and robustness of crossover designs for comparing several test treatments to a control treatment. Since A-optimality is a natural criterion in this context, we establish lower bounds for the trace of the inverse of the information matrix for the test treatments versus control comparisons under various models. These bounds are then used to obtain lower bounds for efficiencies of a design under these models. Two algorithms, both guided by these efficiencies and results from optimal design theory, are proposed for obtaining efficient designs under the various models.  相似文献

In this paper we study the asymptotic theory of M-estimates and their associated tests for a one-factor experiment in a randomized block design. In this case one natural asymptotic theory corresponds to leaving the number of treatments fixed and letting the number of blocks tend to infinity. The classic asymptotic theory of M-estimates does not apply here, because the number of parameters and the number of observations are of the same order. In this paper we prove the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators of the treatment effects. It turns out that the asymptotic covariance matrix of the treatment effects estimators differs from the one derived from the classic theory of M-estimates for the linear model with a fixed number of parameters. We also study a test for treatment effects derived from M-estimates and we compare by Monte Carlo simulation the efficiency of this test with respect to the F-test, the Friedman test and the test based on aligned ranks.  相似文献
