摘要：Methods for testing independence, quasiindependence and marginal symmetry in contingency tables are derived for a wide variety of sampling schemes including stratified multistage cluster sampling. The null hypothesis is a vector of linear and quadratic contrasts involving the probabilities. The asymptotic null distribution of the test static is chi-squared. The thoery can also be used to test equality of failure distributions in a stratified prospective multiclinic [human treatment] trial, joi...
