Partial collapsibility in multidimensional contingency tables

Author

  • Davis, Linda June

Abstract

Whittemore's (1978) definition of collapsibility is generalized from combining all levels of a factor to partially collapsing, i.e., combining only some levels of a factor. Necessary and sufficient conditions for partial collapsibility are given, and the relationship between partial collapsibility and conditional independence explored.
