Partial Association Measures and an Application to Qualitative Regression
偏关联度量及其在定性变量回归中的应用
We define partial ф 2 and additive partial ф 2 measures of association between two random variables and we characterize conditional independence by the lack of correlation between functions of the random variables. We study decompositions of ф 2 which generalize the correlation ratio decomposition. Application to regression on qualitative variables is an illustration.
