The computer program described contains various coefficients for nominal scales, such as the contingency coefficient, Tschuprow's T2, Cramer's V, and the J-index. It may be used to generate a correlation matrix with Tschuprow's T2, for example, as the correlation coefficient. This matrix may later be utilized in a truncated component analysis such as the one provided by the BMDO8M program.
