Distributions of Goodman and Kruskal's Gamma and Spearman's Rho in 2 × 2 Tables for Small and Moderate Sample Sizes
小中样本下二乘二列联表中 Goodman–Kruskal Gamma 与 Spearman Rho 的分布
The distribution of Goodman and Kruskal's G in 2 × 2 tables is examined for small and moderate sample sizes. A number of exact distributions are presented, and asymptotic results relevant to the speed of convergence of G to normality are given. Comparisons are made with the standard correlation coefficient r, It is concluded that the distribution of G converges to normality slowly in many cases and that its density function is irregular even for sample sizes as large as 50.
