\title{Test for trend in proportions}
\usage{
prop.trend.test(x, n, score = seq_along(x))
}
\alias{prop.trend.test}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{ Number of events }
  \item{n}{ Number of trials }
  \item{score}{ Group score }
}
\description{
  Performs chi-squared test for trend in proportions, i.e., a test
  asymptotically optimal for local alternatives where the log odds vary
  in proportion with \code{score}.  By default, \code{score} is chosen
  as the group numbers.
}
\value{
  An object of class \code{"htest"} with title, test statistic, p-value,
  etc.
