Deskriptive und induktive Eigenschaften zweier Streuungsmaße für nominale Merkmale

Abstract

"The First section of this paper focusses an the descriptive properties of two measures of dispersion for nominal variables, the measure of entropy and a new positional measure (which positions a given distribution between the two extremes, the distributions with minimal and maximal dispersion). The two different ways of measuring dispersion are compared graphically. In the following section, estimators for both measures are derived and it is shown that these estimators are asymptotically unbiased and asymptotically normally distributed. Finally approximative tests and confidence intervals are established." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
