In this paper, the authors derived large sample normal distributions with their associated standard errors for various measures of association and various methods of sampling and explained how the large sample normality may be used to test hypotheses about the measures and about differences between them, and to construct corresponding confidence intervals.
Abstract
The population measures of association for cross classifications, discussed in the authors' prior publications, have sample analogues that are approximately normally distributed for large samples. (Some qualifications and restrictions are necessary.) These large sample normal distributions with their associated standard errors, are derived for various measures of association and various methods of sampling. It is explained how the large sample normality may be used to test hypotheses about the measures and about differences between them, and to construct corresponding confidence intervals. Numerical results are given about the adequacy of the large sample normal approximations. In order to facilitate extension of the large sample results to other measures of association, and to other modes of sampling, than those treated here, the basic manipulative tools of large sample theory are explained and illustrated.

Rao's statistic for the analysis of uniform association in cross-classifications

TL;DR: A new measure for the analysis of association in cross-classifications having ordered categories is introduced in terms of the odd-ratios in 2 × 2 subtables formed from adjacent rows and adjacent columns based on the family of divergences introduced by Burbea and Rao.

Regression Analysis of Interval Data

TL;DR: In this article, multi-response permutation procedures are used to analyze regression residuals generated by ordinary least squares (OLS) and least absolute deviation (LAD) regression models, and experimental designs presented and analyzed in Chap. 4 include one-way randomized, oneway randomized with a covariate, one way randomized-block, two-way randomization, twoway randomized block, two way factorial, Latin square, split-plot, and two-factor nested designs.

Measures of association for cross classifications

TL;DR: In this article, a number of alternative measures are considered, almost all based upon a probabilistic model for activity to which the cross-classification may typically lead, and only the case in which the population is completely known is considered, so no question of sampling or measurement error appears.

A Class of Statistics with Asymptotically Normal Distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of estimating a U-statistic of the population characteristic of a regular functional function, where the sum ∑″ is extended over all permutations (α 1, α m ) of different integers, 1 α≤ (αi≤ n, n).

TL;DR: The three measures considered at length are the quadrant measure, Kendall's tau, and Spearman's rho as mentioned in this paper, with emphasis on the probabilistic and operational interpretations of their population values.
