Abstract
A method for studying relationships among
groups in terms of categorical data patterns is described.
The procedure yields a dimensional representation
of configural relationships among multiple
groups and a quantitative scaling of categorical
data patterns for use in subsequent assignment
of new individuals to the groups. Two examples
are used to illustrate potential of the
method. In the first, profile data that were previously
analyzed by metric multiple discriminant
function analysis are reanalyzed by the nonmetric
categorical data pattern technique with highly
similar results. The second example examines relationships
among psychiatric syndrome groups in
terms of similarities in patterns of categorical
background variables. Results appear consistent
with other available information concerning the
epidemiology of psychiatric disorders.
