Abstract

For two-way contingency tables with a nominal explanatory and an ordinal response variables, the present paper proposes a proportional reduction in error measure, which describes the relative decrease in the probability of making an error in predicting the value of the response variable when the value of the explanatory variable is known, as opposed to when it is not known. The measure depends on the order of listing the response categories. Examples are shown.
