A Generalized Index of Dissimilarity
The index of dissimilarity can be interpreted as the ratio of the number that must be moved from cells of excess to cells of deficit to achieve even distribution. This interpretation is used to generalize the index in two directions. First, the index is made applicable to more than two groups at a time. Second, an index and a test of significance are made available for explorations of cells of a two-way contingency table. DISSIM is the name of a …

Preprocessing the 1960–1970 U. S. census public use samples
This is a report on computer programming undertaken to preprocess the 1960–1970 U. S. census public use samples to increase their accessibility. This includes wholesale recoding into positive integers from 1 to N, with 0 reserved for “not applicable”, combining household and person records, sorting records into ten 1/10,000 samples, compacting binary codes to fit on a single reel of tape, and the production of a revised set of formatted tapes
Number and mean age of acceptors and users as related to programme duration
A decline in annual acceptances in a contraceptive programme is open to multiple interpretation. The decline may reflect an adverse change of attitudes and therefore a lowered disposition to accept the method among couples of the population generally. Alternatively, if the population has an irregular age distribution, the decline may mean only that the numbers of couples of prime contraceptive age have temporarily dropped. Thirdly, if the rate of…
The checkerboard model of social interaction
The checkerboard model is a computer simulation of social interaction among members of two groups. The checkerboard represents a social field on which two groups of checkers move on the board on the basis of positive, neutral or negative attitudes toward one another assigned to them. The resulting pattern of positions of the pieces represents the social structure. The theoretical basis for the checkerboard model is explained and the rules for ope…
Family Planning and Fecundity
A computerized probability model of family-building, FERMOD, is described and then utilized in an investigation of relations between family planning and fecundity as applying to white couples of the contemporary United States. Models of this type that formulate reproductive performance as a stochastic process permit one to explore relations that are not directly observable and in this manner to secure at least partial answers to questions not sub…
A computer model of family building based on expected values
A computerized probability model of family building is described. Called FERMOD, the model is designed to follow the changing distribution of children ever born and birth intervals of a large homogeneous population as it moves through the reproductive period. Use of the model presupposes assumptions about such factors as risks of fetal wastage, lengths of pregnancy, and postdelivery amenorrhea conditional to outcome of pregnancy, length of reprod…

Effects of a Random versus Pattern Instructional Set in a Contingent Partial Reinforcement Situation
The characteristic response curves of Ss operating under partial reinforcement are well-known. In a two-choice situation, for instance, they start off responding equally to both choices and then increase the proportion of their responses to the most profitable choice. Ordinarily, the final level of response is less than 100% preference for the alternative associated with the most frequent reward. Possibly, Ss try to match the occurrence of the re…

Test of significance for a series of statistical tests
Factor analysis of OSS Situational Tests
“The factor analyses of four traits rated in different situations reveal at least two different general kinds of situations which affect the rating of traits. These are the ‘verbal’ and the ‘active’ situations. The factor analysis of the over-all rating of 10 traits suggests three general concepts which appear to be useful in the analysis of the behavior of individuals in a situation. These concepts are abilities, interest and motivation, and soc…
