Effects on Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square Statistic of Scores in Ordered Two-way Contingency Tables
Abstract
Analysis of association between ordinal categorical variables has been widely considered especially in social and medical studies. It is known that ordering instead of nominal categorical data has several advantages for researchers. Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistic, which is known as the appropriate statistics to detect the association between ordinal variables, was considered the linear trend for ordinal data to test independence. In this study, integer, midrank, exponential, Van der Waerden and joint scores were compared with a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate power of statistics. Although integer scoring is generally prefered when using the statistic, it is seen that Van der Waerden also performes well.
