Intensity Analysis

Intensity Analysis measures the degree to which changes among categories are non-uniform at three levels: interval, category, and transition.

The categories must be identical at all time points. Aldwaik and Pontius (2012) describe Intensity Analysis while ignoring possible error in the data. Aldwaik and Pontius (2013) describe Intensity Analysis while considering hypothetical data error that could account for deviations from uniform intensities.
