| | This terminology denotes the fact that the variances of the standardized regression coefficients can be computed as the product of the residual variance (for the correlation transformed model) times the respective diagonal elements of the inverse correlation matrix. | | | This procedure assumes that the variables under consideration were measured on a scale that allows the rank ordering of observations based on each variable (i.e., ordinal scale) and that allows rank ordering of the differences between variables (this type of scale is sometimes referred to as an ordered metric scale, see Coombs, 1950). | | | The term variance components is used in the context of experimental designs with random effects, to denote the estimate of the (amount of) variance that can be attributed to those effects. |
