Abstract: | The objective of research in the matching paradigm is to determine whether a one-to-one pairing configuration between objects in two arrays contains more pairings of a particular kind than expected under the null hypothesis. The presence of infeasible pairings, that is, of particular pairings which can not possibly take place, has the effect of altering the null distribution that would otherwise obtain. To enable researchers to determine the appropriate null distribution, a generalization of classical rook methodology is developed which can accommodate infeasible pairings in the matching paradigm. |
