Abstract
Several authors have recently considered the analysis of contingency tables containing cells which are missing, a priori zero, or otherwise specified. Such tables are usually referred to as being incomplete. This paper reexamines this recent literature and shows how the methodology can be extended to the analysis of incomplete multi-way cross-classifications. Several examples are given, and the methods developed here are examined in the light of these examples. The emphasis is on the use of techniques for the actual analysis of data and on the ties with the analysis of complete multi-way tables.
