Tóm tắt

We propose a family of models called row–column interaction models (RCIMs) for two-way table responses. RCIMs apply some link function to a parameter (such as the cell mean) to equal a row effect plus a column effect plus an optional interaction modelled as a reduced-rank regression. What sets this work apart from others is that our framework incorporates a very wide range of statistical models, e.g., (1) log-link with Poisson counts is Goodman’s RC model, (2) identity-link with a double exponential distribution is median polish, (3) logit-link with Bernoulli responses is a Rasch model, (4) identity-link with normal errors is two-way ANOVA with one observation per cell but allowing semi-complex modelling of interactions of the form  $$\mathbf{A}\mathbf{C}^T$$ , (5) exponential-link with normal responses are quasi-variances. Proposed here also is a least significant difference plot augmentation of quasi-variances. Being a special case of RCIMs, quasi-variances are naturally extended from the $$M=1$$ linear/additive predictor  $$\eta $$ case (within the exponential family) to the $$M>1$$ case (vector generalized linear model families). A rank-1 Goodman’s RC model is also shown to estimate the site scores and optimums of an equal-tolerances Poisson unconstrained quadratic ordination. New functions within the VGAM R package are described with examples. Altogether, RCIMs facilitate the analysis of matrix responses of many data types, therefore are potentially useful to many areas of applied statistics.
