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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
