Rook methodology: a flexible framework for exact test development in the matching paradigm.

Full Abstract

As well as supplying a means of enumerating permutations, rook methodology provides a flexible and fertile analytic framework that can facilitate statistical test development in applied settings. Four applications in psychology, where rook methodology provides exact small-sample tests, are described. They are (a) matching under uncertainty, (b) ordered spatial memory, (c) rater agreement under uncertainty, and (d) multiple object relocation. An online computer program, that supplies an exact small-sample test of hypotheses within the rook paradigm, is outlined. The program, which exploits rook methodology to enumerate permutations, may be accessed and executed via the Internet using an ordinary browser.
