| Abstract: | Consider data arranged into k × 2 × 2 contingency tables. The principal result of this paper is the derivation of the likelihood ratio test and its asymptotic distribution for testing for or against an order restriction placed upon the odds ratios. We will show that the limiting distributions are of chi-bar square type and give the expression of the weighting values. |
