The well‐known Q coefficient of association defined by YULE (1900) for two attributes is generalized from first‐order association Q to second‐order association Q for three attributes and to higher‐order Q's for more than three attributes (or binary variables). Q analysis of t binary variables is shown to be a suitable means for describing simple (quasi‐parametric) or complex (multi‐nonparametric) relationships in a t ‐dimensional contingency cube. A biometrical example is given using clinical data.
