Planned and Post Hoc Comparisons for Tests of Homogeneity Where the Dependent Variable Is Categorical and Ordered.
Marascuilo, Leonard A.; Dagenais, Fred
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n3 p777-81 Fall 1982
Social science researchers tend to analyze two dimensional frequency tables using Pearson's Chi-square test, which can be improved upon if the dependent variable represents an ordered qualitative characteristic. An improved modification by the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance on ranks is shown for a planned and post hoc analysis. (Author/CM)
