It is well known that a categorical random variable can be represented geometrically by a simplex. Accordingly, several measures of association between categorical variables have been proposed and discussed in the literature. Moreover, the standard definitions of covariance and correlation coefficient for continuous random variables have been…

Simplicity and flexibility of the full rank linear model motivated this paper which introduces researchers to the theory necessary to understand the model and apply the theory in the analysis of some standard fixed effects experimental designs. The theory and examples should help researchers use the model as an experimental tool and a model for…
