报告内容摘要

This course takes an easy-to-understand look at a statistical approach called the person-centered method. Instead of analyzing means, variances, and covariances of scale scores as in the common variable-centered approach, the person-centered approach uses contingency tables to examine persons or objects grouped according to their characteristic patterns or configurations. In contingency tables, the observed patterns are ordered by their indices; a certain position in a table, denoted by a pattern or configuration, is called a cell. 

The main focus of the course will be on configural frequency analysis (CFA; Stemmler, 2014; von Eye, 2002), which is a statistical method that looks for over- and under-frequented cells or patterns. A pattern or configuration that contains more observed cases than expected is called a type; a pattern or configuration that is observed less frequently than expected is called an antitype. CFA resembles log-linear modeling: log-linear modeling seeks to find a fitting model including all important variables; instead of fitting a model, CFA examines the significant residuals of a log-linear model.

In addition to the theoretical introduction, many data examples will be provided. The course will be using CFA-freeware (Alexander von Eye; voneye@msu.edu) and the R-package confreq.

报告内容摘要

Four models of configural frequency analysis are presented: (1) First-order configural frequency analysis, which is basically the analysis of a main effects log-linear model; (2) prediction configural frequency analysis, which defines one or more dependent variables; (3) two-group configural frequency analysis, which proposes that there is no association between discrimination variables and group membership; and (4) functional configural frequency analysis, which allows us to blank out certain outlier cells in order to test for the quasi-independence of the rest of the cross-table. The use of the open source Rpackage confreq for computational analysis is demonstrated. The advantages, as well as the limitations, of configural frequency analysis are discussed.
