title: Statistical analysis for dependent dichotomous data.
abstract: The analysis of means for attributes data (ANOMAD) is used--when normal approximation applies to binomial distribution--by extending the analysis of means (ANOM) introduced by Ott and Schilling. ANOMAD compares the individual proportions or dependent percentages or set of frequencies of subjects responding to different stimuli, with the grand average of the proportions. It is interesting to see if all temporal values of some risk factors in cardiovascular diseases (CD)--acting as "stimuli"--can provide the same effect on a group of subjects by emphasizing the most important ones.
