Abstract
The five articles in this special issue of Organizational Research Methods focus on various measures of global importance that rank and scale all p predictors in a multiple regression equation and compare their relative merits using a variety of real and simulated data sets. In this commentary, the authors describe several special features of dominance analysis that allow researchers to study more specific and narrowly focused aspects of relative importance. These analyses offer new insights into the pattern of importance that are not provided by any of the global measures of importance.Keywords
