Distance between populations using mixed continuous and categorical variables

W. J. KRZANOWSKI

Department of Applied Statistics, University of Reading

A general form of the location model is considered for mixed continuous and categorical variables observed in a number of different populations, and some special cases of practical interest are cited. The distance between any two populations is derived for each of these models. Estimation of parameters in these distance measures is discussed, and the methods are illustrated by application to previously published data.

Key Words: Affinity between distributions • Distance between populations • Educational data • Location model • Metric scaling • Mixed variables
