Page's L Test/Evidence
Method evidence record

Page's L Test

Page's L test is a nonparametric hypothesis test designed for repeated-measures (randomized complete block) designs in which the researcher has a specific, pre-stated ordering hypothesis across k ≥ 3 conditions. Introduced by Ellis Batten Page in 1963, it is more powerful than the Friedman test when the alternative hypothesis specifies a monotone trend rather than a general difference among conditions.
