Abstract excerpt
Biomedical researchers usually test the null hypothesis that there is no difference of the population mean of pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters between genotypes by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Although a monotone increasing pattern with a number of alleles is expected for PK-related genes, the Kruskal-Wallis test does not consider a monotonic response pattern. For detecting such patterns in clinical and toxicological...
