mantelhaen.test(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, correct = TRUE)
x
| either an array of dimension 2 by 2 by s, where s is the number of strata, or a dichotomous factor object. |
y
| a dichotomous factor object; ignored if x is an array. |
z
|
a factor object idenitifying to which stratum the
corresponding elements in x and y belong; ignored
if x is an array.
|
correct
| a logical indicating whether to apply continuity correction when computing the test statistic. |
mantelhaen.test performs a Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test of
the null that x and y are conditionally independent in
each stratum.x is an array, it must be of dimension 2 by 2 by s, and
the entries should be nonnegative integers. NA's are not
allowed. Otherwise, x, y and z must have the
same length. Triples containing NA's are removed. Both
x and y must be dichotomous (take exactly 2 values)."htest" containing the following
components:
statistic
| the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistic. |
parameter
| always 1, the degrees of freedom of the approximate chi-square distribution of the test statistic. |
p.value
| the p-value of the test. |
method
| a string indicating the method employed, and whether or not continuity correction was used. |
data.name
| a character string giving the names of the data. |
