[edit] The larger Package: Tools for Latent Discrete Structure Analysis [R]

http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/drw/ldsa_0.1-2-EntailmentByCarterButts.zip entailment package in R (provisional) Carter Butts (ldsa_0.1-2.zip ldsa_0.1-2.tar.gz)

The current package is alpha ware, but the entailment stuff works. A good place to start vis a vis the help (for the parts which are documented) is sea.table. ----Carter 05:00, 9 January 2008.

[edit] Sexual division of labor

Douglas R. White, Michael L. Burton, and Lilyan A. Brudner 1977 Entailment Theory and Method: A Cross-Cultural Analysis of the Sexual Division of Labor. Cross Cultural Research 12:1-24. These data are from the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample. These gender orderings have been replicated in archaeological studies. Download data in these formats: spss excel

3-way interaction: This test, for binary variables, is used prior to entailment analysis to verify the absence of greater-than-random occurrence of higher-order interactions.
