“…In terms of the log-linear parametrisation, a QS model of order d , QS v (d ), is defined by imposing equality and symmetry constraints, similar to (6), on all the interaction parameters of the same order, for orders greater than d , d = 1,…, v − 1. More recently, Kateri & Dellaportas (2012) introduced conditional symmetry models of order up to 2 for such three-way tables (v = 3). Multi-way tables with commensurable classification variables occur in longitudinal studies, when a response is repeatedly observed over time.…”
