Peer reviewedSpiegel, Douglas K. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1986
Tau, Lambda, and Kappa are measures developed for the analysis of discrete multivariate data of the type represented by stimulus response confusion matrices. The accuracy with which they may be estimated from small sample confusion matrices is investigated by Monte Carlo methods. (Author/LMO)

Peer reviewedKloot, Willem A. van der; Herk, Hester van – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1991
Two sets of real sorting data from 50 college students are used to compare results of multidimensional scaling of raw co-occurrence frequencies or dissimilarity measures (D) and profile distances (delta) to determine which yields a better representation of the underlying structure of 2 sets of stimuli. Slight differences are discussed. (SLD)
