✦ Synopsis

In the context of experiments i n v o l h g visual inspection of random dot patterns the problem of testing the null hypothesis of independence of binary responses is

considered. A flexible model for dependence between binary responses is proposed. Two tests, optimal under different versions of the model, are derived. These two tests turn out to involve the same computations as the Wilcoxon two sample test and the runs test respectively.
