Abstract

In continuation of the authors' tables of significance tests (1963), the power function of this exact test for the 2 × 3 contingency table using the Freeman & Halton principle is derived and evaluated numerically in the form of contours of constant power for the cases: A = 5(5) 15, where A is the total number in each of the three groups observed according to the numbers of ‘Successes’ (= a i ) in each. Comparisons are also made with the exact significance points of the competing X 2 and (−2 log λ) tests under the null hypothesis H 0 and also alternatives to H 0.
