The PLS (Partial Least Squares) Approach to Multidimensional Contingency Tables
Les idées développées d'ans ce texte s'inspirent de l'approche des modèles à variables latentes par les moindres carrés partiels (PLS) dite plus simplement " modélisation souple" (soft modeling) proposée par H. Wold (1795, 197, 1979, 1981). Le modèle définit une (ou plusieurs) variable latente pour chacune des marges du tableau de contingence. Les variables...

Until 2013, the Upper House (Council of States) had voted by a show of hands. While publicly observable at the time of the vote, legislators' decisions could only be verified ex post through the time-consuming...
