Size invariant measures of association: Characterization and difficulties
نویسندگان
چکیده
A measure of association is row-size invariant if it is unaffected by the mutliplication of all entries in a row of a cross-classification table by a same positive number. It is class-size invariant if it is unaffected by the mutliplication of all entries in a class (i.e., a row or a column). We prove that every class-size invariant measure of association assigns to each m×n cross-classification table a number which depends only on the cross-product ratios of its 2× 2 subtables. We propose a monotonicity axiom requiring that the degree of association should increase after shifting mass from cells of a table where this mass is below its expected value to cells where it is above —provided that total mass in each class remains constant. We prove that no continuous row-size invariant measure of association is monotonic if m ≥ 4.

A CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREMELY AMENABLE SEMIGROUPS
Let S be a discrete semigroup, m (S) the space of all bounded real functions on S with the usualsupremum norm. Let Acm (S) be a uniformly closed left invariant subalgebra of m (S) with 1 c A. We say that A is extremely left amenable if there isamultiplicative left invariant meanon A. Let P = {h ?A: h =|g-1,g | forsome g ?A, s ?S}. It isshown that . A is extremely left amenable if and only ...
متن کاملOn the two-wavelet localization operators on homogeneous spaces with relatively invariant measures
In the present paper, we introduce the two-wavelet localization operator for the square integrable representation of a homogeneous space with respect to a relatively invariant measure. We show that it is a bounded linear operator. We investigate some properties of the two-wavelet localization operator and show that it is a compact operator and is contained in a...
متن کاملMeasures of maximal entropy
We extend the results of Walters on the uniqueness of invariant measures with maximal entropy on compact groups to an arbitrary locally compact group. We show that the maximal entropy is attained at the left Haar measure and the measure of maximal entropy is unique.
متن کاملShift Invariant Spaces and Shift Preserving Operators on Locally Compact Abelian Groups
We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...
متن کاملComplete Closest-Target Based Directional FDH Measures of Efficiency in DEA
In this paper, we aim to overcome three major shortcomings of the FDH (Free Disposal Hull) directional distance function through developing two new, named Linear and Fractional CDFDH, complete FDH measures of efficiency. To accomplish this, we integrate the concepts of similarity and FDH directional distance function. We prove that the proposed measures are translation invariant and unit invari...
