The Knowledge Content of Statistical Data.
Preuss, Lucien; Vorkauf, Helmut
Psychometrika, v62 n1 p133-61 Mar 1997
An information-theoretic framework is used to analyze the knowledge content in multivariate cross-classified data. Proposes measures based on the information concept, including the knowledge content of a cross classification, its terseness, and the separability of one variable. Presents applications for situations when classical analysis is unsatisfactory. (SLD)
