Nominal-ordinal measures of association: a comparison of two measures

Percept Mot Skills. 2009 Aug;109(1):285-94. doi: 10.2466/PMS.109.1.285-294.

Abstract

The measurement of the magnitude of association between a nominal independent variable and an ordinal dependent variable is an important, but neglected, component in psychological research. Two measures of nominal-ordinal association are described and compared. Resampling permutation methods are utilized to compute probability values for both measures.
