The Chacko test for order-restriction with permutation test

The Chacko test for order-restriction with permutation test

permChacko(x, n_perm = 1000L, verbosity = 0)

Arguments

x

vector of numeric values

n_perm

number of permutations to calculate the p-value numerically

verbosity

if TRUE, prints intermediate messages and output

Value

A list containing the test statistic, p-values (analytic, numeric and tabular, when available), the number of permutations performed, the original data and the reduced data. Use names() and str() on the output for more details.
