com.lobsterman.JavaGrinders.HierarchyAnalyzer

public class HierarchyAnalyzer
extends ContingencyAnalyzer

coordinates the analysis of contingency tables in an application. It owns a contingency table which can be set in various ways. In addition it owns an InteractionTable from which a DominanceTable is created on the fly.

Constructor Detail

HierarchyAnalyzer

public HierarchyAnalyzer(VariableOrganizer anOrganizer)

Standard constructor using a VariableOrganizer and an InteractionTable

Parameters:

anOrganizer - an instance of VariableOrganizer class coordinates a set of variables with respect to number of data points available and the rows that are currently selected

HierarchyAnalyzer

public HierarchyAnalyzer(InteractionTable interactions)

Standard constructor using a VariableOrganizer and an InteractionTable

Parameters:

interactions - this instance of InteractionTable class contains a crosstabulation table of frequencies where one entity engaged, dominated, etc. another entity

Method Detail

setTable

public void setTable(InteractionTable aTable)

Installs a crosstabulation (i.e., frequency) table that summmarizes interactions * between entities. All analyses listed below are performed on this table

Parameters:

aTable - this instance of ContingencyTable class contains a crosstabulation table of frequencies

listGroupDescriptives

public void listGroupDescriptives(Variable theXVariable,
                                  Variable theYVariable)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

lists the descriptive statistics for the groups identified by X

Overrides:

listGroupDescriptives in class Analyzer

Parameters:

theXVariable - the independent Variable * @param theYVariable the dependent Variable

theYVariable - the dependent Variable

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no Organizer was available

doAnalyze_1Y1X2Groups

public void doAnalyze_1Y1X2Groups(Variable theYVariable,
                                  Variable theXVariable)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

performs a parametric analysis with one Y and one X variable (with 2 groups)

Overrides:

doAnalyze_1Y1X2Groups in class ContingencyAnalyzer

Parameters:

theXVariable - the independent Variable * @param theYVariable the dependent Variable

theYVariable - an instance of Variable class that is used as a dependent variable

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no Organizer was available

doAnalyze_1Y1XnGroups

public void doAnalyze_1Y1XnGroups(Variable theYVariable,
                                  Variable theXVariable)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

performs a parametric analysis with one Y and one X variable (with multiple groups)

Overrides:

doAnalyze_1Y1XnGroups in class ContingencyAnalyzer

Parameters:

theXVariable - the independent Variable * @param theYVariable the dependent Variable

theYVariable - an instance of Variable class that is used as a dependent variable

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no Organizer was available

doHierarchyAnalysis

public void doHierarchyAnalysis()

reports individual ordinal ranks and a hierachy analysis for a dominance matrix
