Smith, Robert A.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1977
A FORTRAN computer program is described which computes F ratios and attendant probabilities for two-factor fixed effects analysis of variance designs with disproportional cell frequencies. The number of levels for each factor is limited to five and all zero values are considered to be equivalent to missing values. (Author/JKS)

A Program for Calculating the Exact Probability Along with Explorations of M by N Contingency Tables

Fleishman, Allen I. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1977
A computer program for testing the association of two nominal variables using Fisher's exact probability test is described. Theoretical corrections according to recent literature are made. Various methods of discovering the source of association at the cellwise level are given. (Author/JKS)

Bedeian, Arthur G.; Armenakis, Achilles A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1977
This paper provides a mathematical algorithm for Fisher's exact probability test which is adaptable to contingency tables greater than two by two, and which provides the user with an index of predictive association designed for crosstabulations of nominal level variables. (Author/JKS)

McClelland, Gary; Coombs, Clyde H. – Psychometrika, 1975
ORDMET is applicable to structures obtained from additive conjoint measurement designs, unfolding theory, general Fechnerian scaling, types of multidimensional scaling, and ordinal multiple regression. A description is obtained of the space containing all possible numerical representations which can satisfy the structure, size, and shape of which…

Shuford, Emir H., Jr. – 1974
A dicussion is provided of some statistical measures and graphical information that, when used as feedback to the student, facilitates his ability to assess his own uncertainty. These measures and graphs, which result from the application of least squares analysis and information theory to decision-theoretic testing, provide the student with the…

Woodward, J. Arthur; Overall, John E. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
Describes a computer program for calculating the power of the F-test. Approach is based upon two independent approximations-- a normalization of the non-central F distribution and an integration of the normal distribution. Comparison of the calculated values of power with exact values revealed a high degree of accuracy. (Author/RC)

Tritchler, David L.; Pedrini, D. T. – 1974
The Fisher Exact Probability Test considers independent groups and dichotomous criterion in a 2 by 2 (fourfold) contingency table. Fisher's test requires a determination of the combined probability of the observed frequency distribution and of the more extreme (in the same direction) frequency distributions. Typically, Fisher's test is for a small…

Kirk, David B. – 1971
In this paper a reliable method is found for approximating the value of the Bivariate Normal Correlation Coefficient, rho, given values of the joint probability and the normal deviates, h and k, or the related areas. This technique finds useful application in the computation of the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, r, when the underlying…
