Goodman and Kruskal's Tau b: Multiple and Partial Analogs

Abstract

Using the logic developed by Goodman and Kruskal, multiple and partial analogs for their measure Tau are suggested. These measures may be of particular utility to survey researchers in situations where the Goodman and Kruskal lambda measures are either inappropriate or inapplicable. This measure has been shown to have a clear proportional reduction in error interpretation. These analogs should be useful and necessary for detailed causal and/or multiple analysis with nominal-level data.
