Abstract: For square contingency tables with ordered categories, McCullagh [6] considered the palindromic symmetry model. The present paper proposes an extended palindromic symmetry model. The model indicates a structure of asymmetry between the cumulative probability that an observation will fall in row category i or below and column category j(>i) or above and the cumulative probability that it falls in column category i or below and row category j or above. The proposed model indicates the generalized marginal homogeneity model in Tahata and Tomizawa [9] as a special case.

Keywords: Generalized marginal homogeneity model, generalized palindromic symmetry, ordinal data, palindromic symmetry, square contingency table
