The Standardized Contiguity Ratio

Confirmatory inference and geometric models.

“…As should be evident in the examples given above, the confirmatory approach developed in this article has a number of applications that are related to the use and development of geometric models, either those that occur naturally or those derived from some intermediate data reduction process. In addition to the illustrations provided, a number of other correspondences to the methodological literature of the behavioral sciences could be developed that the reader may be interested in pursuing further; see, for example, Schultz and Hubert (1976), Hubert and Baker (1977), Hubert andLevin (1976a, 1976b), Hubert and Schultz (1976), Hubert (1978), Carroll and Chang (Note 1), Althauser, Burdick, and Winsborough (1966), Campbell, Kruskal, and Wallace (1966), Cliff & Ord (1973), Geary (1954), Mielke, Berry, and Johnson (1976), Royaltey, Astrachan, and Sokal (197S), and Winsborough, Quarantelli, andYutzy (1963).…”
