Crossings Interaction of Factors

Given two ordered factors in a square, n x n frequency table, Crossings creates an n-1 column matrix corresponding to different degrees of difficulty in crossing from one level to the next, as described by Goodman (1972).

Usage

Crossings(...)

Arguments

...

Two factors

Value

For two factors of n levels, returns a binary indicator matrix of n*n rows and n-1 columns.
