Abstract

This paper concerns exploratory structural analysis of relations among binary variables. Some new methods are described and illustrated, methods that appear to hold promise for general improvements in binary structural analysis. Standard common factor theory and methods, including image analysis, are used in combination with methods for data smoothing, to construct an alternative data system at the outset of analysis. Most of the new algorithms are relatively fast, easy to explain and to program, and appear to work as intended, at least for initial applications with real and simulated data. Given various advances in statistical theory and methods for prediction, as well as increasingly powerful and convenient computing facilities, there are a number of ways to extend the methods discussed here beyond the current framework.
