The effects of random errors of measurement on a variety of basic multivariate procedures are discussed. For some procedures, the effect is one of attenuation (i.e., simply reducing the estimated strength of association). For others, the effect may be to alter the apparent direction of association. Some proposed solutions to the problems caused by errors of measurement are presented, and areas requiring further research are pointed out.
讨论了测量随机误差对各种基本多元程序的影响。对于某些程序,其影响是衰减之一(即简单地降低估计的关联强度)。对于其他程序,其影响可能是改变明显的关联方向。提出了一些针对测量误差所引起问题的解决方案,并指出了需要进一步研究的领域。
