title: Differential drug effects identified by 3-way configural frequency analysis.
abstract: 48 acute paranoic schizophrenics were treated by high or low dosages of haloperidol and rated for improvement after 3 weeks of treatment. The treatment effect was a differential one in that so-called plus-type schizophrenics improved from low dosages of haloperidol while so-called minus-type schizophrenics improved from high dosages of haloperidol. Testing for differential effects was made by 3-way configural frequency analysis.
