The analysis of structured qualitative data

The analysis of structured qualitative data The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the methodological contribution given by Italian researchers in introducing a priori information into multidimensional data analysis techniques, paying special attention to categorical variables. The basic method is Non‐Symmetrical Correspondence Analysis, which enables the analysis of a contingency table when the behaviour of one variable is supposed to be dependent on the other cross‐classified variable. As usual correspondence analysis decomposes an association index (Pearson's Φ2), in a principal component sense, the proposed method is based on a decomposition of a predictability index (Goodman and Kruskal's τb). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis Wiley

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the methodological contribution given by Italian researchers in introducing a priori information into multidimensional data analysis techniques, paying special attention to categorical variables. The basic method is Non‐Symmetrical Correspondence Analysis, which enables the analysis of a contingency table when the behaviour of one variable is supposed to be dependent on the other cross‐classified variable. As usual correspondence analysis decomposes an association index (Pearson's Φ2), in a principal component sense, the proposed method is based on a decomposition of a predictability index (Goodman and Kruskal's τb).
