© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 2 Plan of the day In today’s lecture we apply Poisson regression to the analysis of one and two- dimensional contingency tables. Topics –Contingency tables –Sampling models –Equivalence of Poisson and multinomial –Correspondence between interactions and independence

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 3 Contingency tables Contingency tables arise when we classify a number of individuals into categories using one or more criteria. Result is a cross-tabulation or contingency table –1 criterion gives a 1-dimensional table –2 criteria give a 2 dimensional table –… and so on.

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 6 Censuses and samples Sometimes tables come from a census Sometimes the table comes from a random sample from a population –In this case we often want to draw inferences about the population on the basis of the sample e.g.is income independent of sex?

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 7 Example: death by falling The following is a random sample of 16,976 persons who met their deaths in fatal falls, selected from a larger population of deaths from this cause. The falls classified by month are Jan1688July1406 Feb1407Aug1446 Mar1370Sep1322 Apr1309Oct1363 May1341Nov1410 Jun1388Dec1526

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 8 The question Question: if we regard this as a random sample from several years, are the months in which death occurs equally likely? Or is one month more likely than the others? To answer this, we use the idea of maximum likelihood. First, we must detour into sampling theory in order to work out the likelihood

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 9 Sampling models There are two common models used for contingency tables The multinomial sampling model assumes that a fixed number of individuals from a random sample are classified with fixed probabilities of being assigned to the different “cells”. The Poisson sampling model assumes that the table entries have independent Poisson distributions

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 10 Multinomial sampling

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 11 Multinomial model Suppose a table has M “cells” n individuals classified independently (A.k.a. sampling with replacement) Each individual has probability  i of being in cell i Every individual is classified into exactly 1 cell, so  1 +   M = 1 Let Y i be the number in the ith cell, so Y 1 + Y Y M = n

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 12 Multinomial model (cont) Y 1,...,Y m have a multinomial distribution This is the maximal model, as in logistic regression, making no assumptions about the probabilities.

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 13 Log-likelihood

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 14 MLE’s If there are no restrictions on the  ’s (except that they add to one) the log- likelihood is maximised when  i = y i /n These are the MLE’s for the maximal model Substitute these into the log-likelihood to get the maximum value of the maximal log-likelihood. Call this Log L max

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 15 Deviance Suppose we have some model for the probabilities: this will specify the form of the probabilities, perhaps as functions of other parameters. In our example, the model says that each probability is 1/12. Let log L mod be the maximum value of the log- likelihood, when the probabilities are given by the model. As for logistic regression, we define the deviance as D = 2log L max - 2 log L mod

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 16 Deviance:Testing adequacy of the model If n is large (all cells more than 5) and M is small, and if the model is true, the deviance will have (approximately) a chi-square distribution with M-k-1 df, where k is the number of unknown parameters in the model. Thus, we accept the model if the deviance p- value is more than This is almost the same as the situation in logistic regression with strongly grouped data. These tests are an alternative form of the chi- square tests used in stage 2.

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 17 Example: death by falling Are deaths equally likely in all months? In statistical terms, is  i =1/12, i=1,2,…,12? Log L max is, up to a constant, Calculated in R by >y<-c(1688,1407,1370,1309,1341,1388, 1406,1446,1322,1363, 1410,1526) > sum(y*log(y/sum(y))) [1]

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 18 Example: death by falling Our model is  i =1/12, i=1,2,…,12. (all months equally likely). This completely specifies the probabilities, so k=0, M-k-1=11. Log L mod is, up to a constant, > sum(y*log(1/12)) [1] # now calculate deviance > D<-2*sum(y*log(y/sum(y)))-2*sum(y*log(1/12)) > D [1] > 1-pchisq(D,11) [1] e-13 Model is not plausible!

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 20 Poisson model Assume that each cell is Poisson with a different mean: this is just a Poisson regression model, with a single explanatory variable “month” This is the maximal model The null model is the model with all means equal Null model deviance will give us a test that all months have the same mean

Why????

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 23 General principle: To every Poisson model for the cell counts, there corresponds a multinomial model, obtained by conditioning on the table total. Suppose the Poisson means are  1, …  M.... The cell probabilities in the multinomial sampling model are related to the means in the Poisson sampling model by the relationship  i =  i /(  1 + … +  M ) We can estimate the parameters in the multinomial model by fitting the Poisson model and using the relationship above. We can test hypotheses about the multinomial model by testing the equivalent hypothesis in the Poisson regression model.

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 26 Relationship between Poisson parameters and multinomial probs – alternative form

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 27 Testing all months equal Clearly, all months hav equal probabilities if and only if all the deltas are zero. Thus, testing for equal months in the multinomial model is the same as testing for deltas all zero in the Poisson model. This is done using the null model deviance, or, equivalently, the anova table. Recall: The null deviance was e+01 on 11 degrees of freedom, with a p-value of e-13, so months not equally likely

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 32 Independence Events A and B are independent if the conditional probability that A occurs, given B occurs, is the same as the unconditional probability of A occuring. i.e. P(A|B)=P(A). Since P(A|B)=P(A and B)/P(B), this is equivalent to P(A and B) = P(A) P(B)

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 33 Independence in a 2 x2 table Independence of nightmares and snoring means P(Snoring and frequent nightmares)= P(Snoring) x P(frequent nightmares) (plus similar equations for the other 3 cells) Or,  1 =(  1 +  2 ) (  1 +  3 ) In fact, this equation implies the other 3 for a 2 x 2 table

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 44 Testing independence in the general 2-dimensional table We have a two-dimensional table, with the rows corresponding to Education, having I=3 levels, and the columns corresponding to Religious Belief, having J=3 levels. Under the Poisson sampling model, let  ij be the mean count for the i,j cell Split log  ij into overall level, main effects, interactions as usual

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 45 Testing independence in the general 2-dimensional table (ii) Under the corresponding multinomial sampling model, let  ij be the probability that a randomly chosen individual has level i of Education and level j of Religious belief, and so is classified into the i,j cell of the table. Then, as before

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 46 Testing independence (iii) Let  i+ =  i1 + … +  iJ be the marginal probabilities: the probability that Education=i. Let  + j be the same thing for Religious belief The factors are independent if  ij =  i+  +j This is equivalent to (  ) ij = 0 for all i,j.

© Department of Statistics 2012 STATS 330 Lecture 27: Slide 47 Testing independence (iv) Now we can state the principle: We can test independence in the multinomial sampling model by fitting a Poisson regression with interacting factors, and testing for zero interaction.
