TY - SER AU - Berry,Kenneth J. AU - Kvamme, Kenneth L. TI - Improvements in the permutation test for the spatial analysis of the distribution of artifacts into classes. T2 - no.3 PY - 1983/// CY - Estados Unidos-US : PB - Society for American Archaeology, KW - ARQUEOLOGIA KW - ESTADISTICA N2 - Refinements and extensions to the permutation test for assessing the intraside patterning of artifact distributions in an archaeological space are presented. Specifically, a Pearson type III distribution is employed to approximate the sampling distribution of the test statistic, an improved weighting is introduced to increase the efficiency of the test, and a method is presented to permit the inclusion of unclassified artifacts in the spatial analysis.
