st: chi squared test for trend

[Rune Nielsen <nielsenrune@mac.com>]

Dear all!
I've tried searching the archives concerning this without finding it  
explicitly.

I've got two categorical variables, one ordered with three groups, and  
the other as an dichotomous outcome. Can I use the nptrend command to  
test for trend of proportion over the three (ordered) groups?

Best wishes

Rune N.
