The location model is a useful tool in parametric analysis of mixed continuous and categorical variables. In this model, the continuous variables are assumed to follow different multivariate normal distributions for each possible combination of categorical variable values. Using this model, a distance between two populations involving mixed variables can be defined. To date, however, no distributional results have been available, against which to assess the outcomes of practical applications of this distance. The null distribution of estimated distance is therefore considered in this paper, for a range of possible situations. No explicit analytical expressions are derived for this distribution, but easily implementable Monte Carlo schemes are described. These are then applied to previously cited examples. 相似文献

Two algorithms for fitting directed graphs to nonsymmetric proximity data are compared. The first approach, termed MAPNET,
is a direct extension of a mathematical programming procedure for fitting undirected graphs to symmetric proximity data presented
by Klauer and Carroll (1989). For a user-specified number of links, the algorithm seeks to provide the connected network that
gives the least-squares approximation of the proximity data with the specified number of links, allowing for linear transformations
of the data. The mathematical programming approach is compared to the NETSCAL method for fitting directed graphs (Hutchinson
1989), using the Monte Carlo methods and data sets employed by Hutchinson. 相似文献
