Armitage: Armitage's trend test for the 2x3 genotype table

In MCPerm: A Monte Carlo permutation method for multiple test correlation

Description

Armitage's trend test for the 2x3 genotype table.

Usage

Armitage(case_11, case_12, case_22, control_11, control_12, control_22)

Arguments

case_11	a non-negative integer, the frequency of genotype "allele1/allele1" in case samples.
case_12	a non-negative integer, the frequency of genotype "allele1/allele2" in case samples.
case_22	a non-negative integer, the frequency of genotype "allele2/allele2" in case samples.
control_11	a non-negative integer, the frequency of genotype "allele1/allele1" in control samples.
control_12	a non-negative integer, the frequency of genotype "allele1/allele2" in control samples.
control_22	a non-negative integer, the frequency of genotype "allele2/allele2" in control samples.

Details

The Cochran-Armitage test for trend, is used in categorical data analysis when the aim is to assess for the presence of an association between a variable with two categories and a variable with k categories. It modifies the Pearson chi-squared test to incorporate a suspected ordering in the effects of the k categories of the second variable. The trend test is ofen used as a genotype-based test for case-control genetic association studies.

Value

statistic	numeric, the statistic of armitage test for trend.
pValue	numeric, the p value of armitage test for trend.
