Crossings: Crossings Interaction of Factors

Description

Given two ordered factors in a square, n x n frequency table, Crossings creates an n-1 column matrix corresponding to different degrees of difficulty in crossing from one level to the next, as described by Goodman (1972).

Usage

Crossings(...)

Arguments

…

Two factors

Value

For two factors of n levels, returns a binary indicator matrix of n*n rows and n-1 columns.

hauser.CR <- update(hauser.indep, ~ . + Crossings(Father,Son))
LRstats(hauser.CR)

hauser.CRdiag <- update(hauser.indep, ~ . + Crossings(Father,Son) + Diag(Father,Son))
