Under what conditions should partial gamma (G_p)NOT be calculated? A)when sample size is very large B)when there is no dependent variable C)when the variables are ordinal in level of measurement D)when there is evidence of interaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Partial gamma should not be calculated when there is evidence of interaction. This means that the relationship between the two variables is not consistent across levels of a third variable, which violates the assumption of homogeneity of the gamma coefficient. In such cases, alternative measures that account for interaction, such as logistic regression or proportional odds model, may be more appropriate. The other options (A, B, and C) do not affect the calculation of partial gamma. However, it is worth noting that partial gamma is most useful in small to medium-sized samples, and that it may not be informative for variables measured at the ordinal level, as it assumes a linear relationship between the variables.
