A variety of correlation measures for use between expressed and inventoried interests are presented. Tables are given for significance testing, and asymptotic standard errors are derived. (Author/JKS)

A study was conducted using generated data sets that contained specified amounts of error to determine empirically which of two large sample approximations for the coefficient of concordance or weighted average tau was more appropriate for various numbers of judges and numbers of objects. (CTM)

Illustrates a simple nonparametric alternative that can be used to test a hypothesis that two proximity matrices on the same set of variables or objects reflect a similar pattern of high and low entries. (RC)

New tests for comparing the strength of association between a variable and each of two potential predictor variables are proposed and compared to an existing test in a simulation study. Recommendations for use are made. (Author/JKS)
