A modified Armitage test for more than a linear trend on proportions
share
The Armitage test for linear trend in proportions can be modified using the multiple marginal model approach for three regression models with arithmetic, ordinal and logarithmic dose scores simultaneously, to be powerful against a wide range of possible dose response relationships. Moreover, it can be used for particular designs in the generalized linear (mixed) model for the three common effect sizes odds ratio, risk ratio and risk difference. The related R package tukeytrend allows simple generalizations, e.g. the analysis 2-by-k table data with a possible plateau shape or analysing overdispersed proportions. The evaluation of further real data examples are available in a vignette to that R package.
