Abstract

A pedagogic exposition of Ho's Galois lattice approach for analysing social data is given in this paper. This provides a basis for respecifying Atkin's Q -analysis in a way that is believed to be more powerful, more economical, and accessible to a wider audience. Concepts of traffic and eccentricity are reexamined, but more generally, the suggested respecification may enhance the utility of Q -analysis and broaden its applicability, while remaining true to its underlying ethos.
