A Probabilistic Model for Validation of Behavioral Hierarchies

Dayton, C. Mitchell; MacReady, George B.

Psychometrika, 41, 2, 189-204, Jun 76

Estimation is by means of iterative convergence to maximum likelihood estimates, and two approaches to assessing fit of the model to sample data are discussed. Relation of this general probabilistic model to other, more restricted models is explored and three cases of the general model are applied to exemplary data. (Author/RC)
