Notwithstanding a large body of literature on log-linear models and odds ratios, no general marginal-free index of the association in a contingency table has gained a wide acceptance. Building on a framework developed by L. A. Goodman, we put into light the direct links between odds ratios, the Altham index, the intrinsic association coefficient,…

A computer program for computing coefficients for nominal scales, such as the contingency coefficient, Cramer's V, and others is described. (Author/JKS)

This note described a FORTRAN IV, CDC, computer program for the canonical analysis of a two-way contingency table. (Author)

A set of tables for determining tetrachoric correlations is presented. The coefficients have been determined to three-decimal accuracy. (JKS)

In this paper, a test based on rank sums is considered specifically for problems where there is a priori indication that the experimental condition may cause extreme reactions in both directions. (Authors)

A distribution-free test for trend in one-way experimental designs is described. Critical values are derived, and a schematic diagram is given so that a computer package can be implemented. (Author/JKS)

The program presented computes a chi-square statistic for testing pattern hypotheses on correlation matrices. The statistic is based on a multivariate generalization of the Fisher r-to-z transformation. This statistic has small sample performance which is superior to an analogous likelihood ratio statistic obtained via the analysis of covariance…

This text is designed for undergraduate courses in statistics or tests and measurements in physical education. It covers basic statistical concepts such as frequency distributions; graphs and curves; percentiles; measure of central tendency and variability; correlations; t tests; special applications of t tests for unequal, small, or correlated…

It may be useful in evaluation research to employ the class as the unit of analysis, assessing its syntality by a vector of distribution cumulants or indices for each of several input tests administered. (Author)

Research studies using booklet classification were implemented by the American College Testing Program to investigate the linkage between the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Achievement Levels Descriptions and the cutpoints set to represent student performance with respect to the achievement levels. This paper describes the…
