Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces measures of association for two nominal-level variables that are not based on chi-squared. Included in Chap. 4 are Goodman and Kruskal’s λ and τ proportional-reduction-in-error measures, Cohen’s unweighted κ agreement coefficient, McNemar’s test for change, Cochran’s Q statistic, the Mantel–Haenszel test of independence for combined 2×2 contingency tables, and Fisher’s exact probability test, which is extended to include r×c contingency tables.
