Multinomial Runs Tests to Detect Clustering in Constrained Free Recall
针对心理学实验中自由回忆数据，提出基于多项分布的游程检验方法，用于检测序列中的聚类模式，并通过大众传播实验数据展示其应用。
Abstract Psychologists often want to detect category structure in subjects' free recall protocols. Although runs tests based on the binomial distribution are commonly used to detect nonrandomness within a sequence, many research situations require tests based on the multinomial distribution. We propose a test of randomness versus clustering based on the number of runs in multinomial data. We illustrate its use with data from a mass communication experiment using a constrained free recall procedure.
