GKgamma: Calculate Goodman-Kruskal Gamma for ordered tables

Description

The Goodman-Kruskal $\gamma$ statistic is a measure of association for ordinal factors in a two-way table proposed by Goodman and Kruskal (1954).

Usage

GKgamma(x, level = 0.95)

Arguments

x
A two-way frequency table, in matrix or table form. The rows and columns are considered to be ordinal factors
level
Confidence level for a significance test of $\gamma \ne =$

Value

  • Returns an object of class "GKgamma" with 6 components, as follows
  • gammaThe gamma statistic
  • CTotal number of concordant pairs in the table
  • DTotal number of disconcordant pairs in the table
  • sigmaStandard error of gamma
  • CIlevelConfidence level
  • CIConfidence interval
