This paper examines changes in the historical pattern of in-migration to small frontier communities in northern Saskatchewan in three time periods: 1927-1960, 1961-1970 and 1971-1976. The problems associated with spatial interaction modeling in a developing or frontier region are noted, particularly the low volume of in-migration and the inappropriateness of mass terms as surrogate measures of nodal attractiveness and propulsiveness. As an alternative, a log-linear approach is adopted, whereby multidimensional contingency-table analysis of categorical data reveals structural components in the spatial-interaction process. Initial results indicate that the gender of the migrant has no effect on the propensity to migrate and that spatial patterns of in-migration have not changed over time.

This paper is an examination of functional form and functional misspecification in regression-based spatial interaction models. Box–Cox transformations are used to model US state-to-state labor migration. Attention is given to the production-constrained gravity model, the competing and intervening destinations (CID) model, and an extension of the CID model which uses dummy variables and an iterative transformation procedure. Statistical evidence supports the argument that the use of highly restrictive log-linear specifications may be inappropriate and problematic. Implications for spatial interaction modeling using general nonrestrictive functional forms are discussed.

Multidimensional Contingency Table

In the central Rocky Mountains of Colorado 4 species of aphids feed on fireweed, and 10 species or ants have been observed tending 3 of these species of aphids. Local populations of aphids and their associated ants were counted nondestructively at weekly intervals for up to 11 weeks. The effects of ants upon the persistence of recently initiated populations and the growth of populations during 1-week intervals were assessed by multidimensional contingency table analysis. Macrosiphum valerianae, which is not tended by ants, was affected negatively by ants. Aphis varians and A. helianthi were affected by tending, but A. salicariae was not affected. The responses of both A. varians and A. helianthi to tending were density dependent; i.e., small populations that were untended were more likely to decrease than tended populations, but large populations that were tended were either more likely to decrease than untended populations or equivalent to them. Possible reasons for this density-dependent effect are discussed, and its implications for the stability of the mutualism between aphids and ants are considered. Different species of ants had different effects. Populations of A. varians that were tended by Formica neorufibarbis or Tapinoma sessile performed no differently than untended populations, but low-density populations that were tended by F. cinerea or F. fusca were less likely to decline than untended populations.

The Relationship

This article attempts to fill two gaps in the literature on individual party choice. First, it deals with hitherto unanswered questions about relationships between social cleavages and party choice in Israel. Second, the article attempts to overcome methodological problems arising in the multivariate analysis of multiparty systems by utilizing Goodman's method of log-linear contingency table analysis. In the sample, occupation is not as strongly related to party choice as is a nonhierarchical dimension of economic position, sector of the economy. Ethnicity is modestly related to party choice, but hypotheses that the relationship is affected by place of birth, age, or other variables are disconfirmed. Hypotheses that the relationship between religiosity and party choice is affected by economic position are also disconfirmed. The advantages of using log linear contingency table analysis are demonstrated.

Multidimensional Contingency Table

Using multidimensional contingency table analysis, we investigated the pattern of space use in an assemblage of nearshore reef fishes inhabiting small artificial reefs in Barkley Sound, British Columbia. Two variables, (1) shelter type and size, and (2) elevation above substrate, were specifically studied. All species had precise microhabitat requirements, and they all showed segregation in the spatial dimension, with the exception of the pair Sebastes caurinus – S. maliger. Only Sebastes melanops showed consistent shifts in its space use in response to increases in the density of the other members of the community, indicating that, with this exception, interspecific competition was probably a weak force in this system.
