Explain why direction of association is important in understanding association and provide an example.
What will be an ideal response?
Direction of association is an important part of understanding association in general. All measures of association indicate the strength of association, but not all indicate the direction of association. In cases involving a nominal variable, such as the association between income and race (e.g., Black/White/other), the association cannot have direction because race is a nominal variable. When no nominal variables are involved, the concept of direction does apply.
