Tests of Independence for Ordinal Data Using Bootstrap.

Chan, Wai; Yung, Yiu-Fai; Bentler, Peter M.; Tang, Man-Lai

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n2 p221-40 Apr 1998

Two bootstrap tests are proposed to test the independence hypothesis in a two-way cross table. Monte Carlo studies are used to compare the traditional asymptotic test with these bootstrap methods, and the bootstrap methods are found superior in two ways: control of Type I error and statistical power.
