COMPARISON OF SQUARE CONTINGENCY TABLES USING MEASURE OF DEPARTURE FROM MARGINAL HOMOGENEITY

摘要

For the analysis of square contingency tables with same row and column classifications, Stuart (1955) considered the marginal homogeneity model which indicates that the row marginal distribution is identical with the column marginal distribution. Tahata, Iwashita and Tomizawa (2006, 2008) proposed the measure of departure from the marginal homogeneity model for square contingency tables with ordered categories. The present paper (1) reviews these measures and (2) compares between several Japanese social mobility data using these measures.
