Cramer's V is a normalization of the Pearson chi-square statistic, but has nothing to do with the theoretical chi-square distribution and therefore its interpretation isn't affected by how quickly the Pearson statistic converges to a true chi-square under the null hypothesis. It's a purely descriptive measure, though unless there are standards in your field for how to interpret it, I'd go with different measures of nominal-nominal association that have more-or-less standard interpretations. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
