Abstract

Last chapter discusses one type of doubly classified model: marginal total symmetry. This chapter covers the first set of doubly classified models referred to as asymmetry models. Asymmetry models are models that their baseline model is a complete symmetry model (Goodman 1985). That is, these models take complete symmetry model as their base for comparison. A completely symmetry model is a model with the property of total symmetry in reference to the diagonal cells. Asymmetry models are models that depart from this property.
