Aligned Rank Test

Description

Aligned rank test for a group/treatment effect after adjusting for covariates.

Usage

aligned.test(x, y, g, scores = Rfit::wscores,...)

Arguments

x	n by p design matrix
y	n by 1 response vector
g	n by 1 vector denoting group/treatment membership.
scores	Which scores should be used for the fit and the test. An object of class scores.
...	optional arguments. passed to rfit.

Details

Data are aligned based on the design matrix x using a rank-based fit via rfit.
