本文是就有序變數的模型在 個不同“維度”的架構下做探討，主要可以區分成兩部份。 1.就兩個有序變數的二維列聯表，我們介紹ＲＣ（Ｍ）模型，並分別探討關聯性模型，相關性模型及對應分析模型。 2.就三個變數的三維列聯表，在給定一個變數的情形之下，我們討論了如何運用三變數的ＲＣ（Ｍ）關聯性模型來探討另外兩個有序變數間的關係。 / We examine statistical models for ordinal variables that allow for more then one“ dimension ”of association in this study. The focus are on the following two types of models: 1. RC(M) models for two ordinal variables, including RC(M) association model; RC(M) correlation model and RC(M) correspondence analysis model. 2. Conditional RC(M) association models which can be used to analyze a 3-way contingency table with at least two ordinal variables.
