Chapter Chapter 8 in The Measurement of Association, 2018, pp 439-510 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes measures of association for two variables at different levels of measurement, e.g., a nominal-level independent variable and an ordinal- or interval-level dependent variable, and an ordinal-level independent variable and an interval-level dependent variable. This chapter begins with discussions of three measures of association for a nominal-level independent variable and an ordinal-level dependent variable: Freeman’s θ, Agresti’s δ ̂ $$\hat{\delta}$$ , and Piccarreta’s τ ̂ $$\hat {\tau }$$ . This chapter continues with a discussion of measures of association for a nominal-level independent variable and an interval-level dependent variable: the correlation ratio η 2, 𝜖 2, and ω ̂ 2 $$\hat {\omega }^{2}$$ .
