Abstract:

We obtain exact P -values for Cochran's test comparing K different treatments using independent blocks with dichotomous responses. An algorithm is developed using restricted partitions and counts of matrices with elements 0 or 1 that have specified row and column margin sums. A linked list structure facilitates this matrix count.

Keywords: Cochran's Test; P -value; Restricted partitions; Count of 0 or 1 at element matrices with fixed mar
