  • A comprehensive statistical framework is presented which encompasses a wide range of existing nonparametric methods. The basic strategy, referred to as linear assignment (LA), depends on a simple index of correspondence defined between two object sets that have been matched in some a priori manner. In this broad sense, LA can be interpreted as a general correlational technique. A variety of extensions are discussed along with the attendant problems of significance testing and the construction of normalized descriptive indices.
