Abstract

A general recursive strategy is introduced to test nonparametrically for an increasing dose-response relationship when a downturn in response at high doses is possible. A specific implementation involving a test of Jonckheere (1954) and Terpstra (1952) is considered, and its size and power properties are investigated via Monte Carlo methods. Data from mutation research illustrate the phenomenon of concern.
