A test for spatial correlation is considered when the binary observations are obtained from a regular grid. We use the auto-logistic model for our data and a conditional uniformly most powerful unbiased test for the spatial correlation is found. We use a Monte Carlo method based on a Markov chain fo

โฆ Synopsis
The problem of testing for the significance of a linear trend in the presence of positively correlated errors is considered. Test criteria based on ordinary least squares, conditional maximum likelihood, estimated generalized least squares and maximum likelihood estimates tend to have higher significance levels than nominal levels for positively correlated series of moderate length. In this paper, we study three alternative methods: (a) pre-test, (b) bias-adjusted, and (c) bootstrapbased procedures. A simulation study is used to compare the empirical level and power of different procedures. An example is used to illustrate the procedures. (~

## Abstract Tests for a monotonic trend between an ordered categorical exposure and disease status are routinely carried out from caseโcontrol data using the Mantelโextension trend test or the asymptotically equivalent CochranโArmitage test. In this study, we considered two alternative tests based
Dental research studies often produce relatively small data sets in which observations are serially or spatially correlated. Rerandomization tests are presented as alternatives to analysis of variance and multivariate analysis for assessing group differences using such data. Rerandomization tests ar
## Abstract MannโKendall (MK) test for trend detection must be modified when the data are serially correlated, to prevent the detection of false trends. Various approaches are developed for this purpose, such as prewhitening, trendโfree prewhitening, variance correction and block bootstrap. Each me
