The proposed model may be appropriate for a square ordinal table if it is reasonable to assume an underlying bivariate log-normal distribution. Also, this article gives the decomposition of the symmetry model using the proposed model with the orthogonality of test statistics. Examples are given. The simulation studies based on bivariate log-normal distribution are given.</p> ER -
