Aggregation and Association in Cross Tables
نویسندگان
چکیده
The strength of association between the row and column variables in a cross table varies with the level of aggregation of each variable. In many settings like the simultaneous discretization of two variables, it is useful to determine the aggregation level that maximizes the association. This paper deals with the behavior of association measures with respect to the aggregation of rows and columns and proposes an heuristic algorithm to (quasi-)maximize the association through aggregation.

متن کاملCross-lingual Linking of Multi-word Entities and their corresponding Acronyms
This paper reports on an approach and experiments to automatically build a cross-lingual multi-word entity resource. Starting from a collection of millions of acronym/expansion pairs for 22 languages where expansion variants were grouped into monolingual clusters, we experiment with several aggregation strategies to link these clusters across languages. Aggregation strategies make use of string...
متن کاملModels for the probability of concordance in cross-classification tables
For cross-classification tables having an ordinal response variable, logit and probit models are formulated for the probability that a pair of subjects is concordant. For multidimensional tables, generalized models are given for the probability that the response at one setting of explanatory variables exceeds the response at another setting. Related measures of association are discussed for two...
