The proposed meas- ures lie between –1 to 1. When the marginal cumulative logistic model or the extended marginal homogeneity model holds, the proposed measures represent the degree of departure from marginal homogeneity. Using these measures, three kinds of unaided distance vision data are analyzed. Keywords: Marginal Homogeneity; Marginal Cumulative Logistic Model; Measure; Square Contingency Table 1. Introduction degree of departure from weak MH. Consider an R? R square contingency table with or- dered categories. Let pij denote the probability that an observation will fall in the ith row and jth column of the 2. Weak Marginal Homogeneity I and Measure table ( i ?1,?, R ; j ?1,?, R ). Also let X and Y 2.1. Submeasure I denote the row and column variables, respectively. The marginal homogeneity (MH) model ([1]) is defined by Let R?1 ??Fi ? FiY ? X , for i ?1,?, R ?1 ?1 ? Fi X ?
