I just wrote this up for a project, perhaps 5 years is better than never...
<code> cuzick = function(x,z,test.type=c("two.sided", "upper", "lower")) { N = length(z) n = unique(z) ranks=rank(x) T = sum(ranks*z) p = (table(z)/N) E_Z = sum(unique(z)*p) E_T = 0.5*N*(N+1)*E_Z Var_Z = sum(unique(z)^2*p) - E_Z^2 Var_T = N^2*(N+1)/12*Var_Z Zscore = (T-E_T)/sqrt(Var_T) if(test.type == "two.sided") { pval = 2*pnorm(-abs(Zscore)) } else if(test.type == "upper") { pval = pnorm(Zscore,lower.tail=F) } else pval = pnorm(Zscore,lower.tail=T) out = data.frame(cbind(Zscore,pval,test.type)) colnames(out) = c("Z","p","testType") return(out) } </code> With data from the Cuzick 1985 paper: <code> z = c(rep(1, 8), rep(2,10), rep(3,9), rep(4,9),rep(5,9)) x = c(0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 9, 0, 0, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 23, 25, 97, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 21, 0, 3, 5, 6, 10, 19, 56, 100, 132, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6, 7, 18, 39, 60) > cuzick(x,z,"two.sided") Z p testType 1 2.11 0.0348 two.sided </code> arin basu-2 wrote > > Hi All: > > I was looking for, but could not locate in the packages, or in the R > archive searches if there exists an R implementation of Cuzick's test of > trend.
