Prediction Models in Configural Frequency Analysis

Configural frequency analysis models are presented for predicting a discrete criterion variable from combining 2 or more discrete predictor variables nonparametrically. Predictions are made via so-called prediction types which allow to predict a criterion class from combined predictor classes. Prediction types are implicitely defined as cells of a 2-dimensional contingeney table with rows as predictor combinations and columns as criterion classes. The CFA is extended for two criteria, and for stratified sampling.
