The Empirical Performance of Measures of Association in the 2x2 Table.
Alexander, Ralph A.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v45 n1 p79-87 Spr 1985
A comparison of measures of association for 2x2 data was carried out by computer analysis. For each of 1,539 tables, 14 measures of association were calculated and evaluated. A measure based on the odds-ratio (Chambers, 1982) was most accurate in capturing the rho underlying a majority of the tables. (Author/BW)
