False-positives and false-negatives in tests for trend

Peter Paul Clark Sorenson, The University of Texas School of Public Health

Abstract

False-positive and false-negative values were calculated for five different designs of the trend test and it was demonstrated that a design suggested by Portier and Hoel in 1984 for a different problem produced the lowest false-positive and false-negative rates when applied to historical spontaneous tumor rate data for Fischer Rats.
