Butler, John K.; Womer, Norman Keith
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v20 n3 p335-52 Jul 1985

Arguments are offered favoring a non-nested regression models analysis over a traditional hierarchical analysis of nested regression models. Discriminant analysis indicated one of four cognitive characteristics tested influenced choice of model. (NSF)
