For square contingency tables with nominal categories, four kinds of measure are proposed to represent the degree departure from marginal homogeneity (MH). The measures expressed by using Shannon entropy or Gini concentration. They used how far distributions (or conditional given that an observation will fall in one off-diagonal cells table) distant those MH structure. Two these also extended T-way (T ≥ 3).
