Abstract
For a two-way contingency table with nominal row and column variables, the measures which describe the proportional reduction in variation (PRV) from the marginal distribution of one variable to the conditional distribution given the other variable are proposed by Goodman and Kruskal (1954), Theil (1970), and Freeman (1987, p. 101). Tomizawa, Seo and Ebi (1997), and Miyamoto, Usui and Tomizawa (2005) proposed the generalization of those measures. Tomizawa, Miyamoto and Yajima (2002), and Yamamoto and Tomizawa (2009) proposed the PRV measures for a nominal-ordinal contingency table and for an ordinal-ordinal contingency table, respectively. The present paper (1) reviews these PRY measures and (2) analyzes and compares between several categorical data using these PRY measures.
