1. Cross Tabulation Statistical Analysis of Categorical Variables

2. To date…. We have examined statistical tests for differences of means, proportions, regression coefficients and correlation coefficients. These statistics are all measured at the interval level.

3. New Test… Now we wish to examine statistical tests for questions involving nominal and ordinal variables. To do so we introduce the Chi Square Test.

4. Cross Tabulation We are interested in the counting the number of cases for the categories of one variable in terms of the categories of a second variable, and…. Implicitly, we are asking if there are differences in the patterns of the counts….

5. Cross Tabulation and Chi Square Test A cross tabulation cross classifies one variable by another variable. Below is a cross classification of occupational groups and wards for the Simon data for 1905.

6. Cross Tabulation and Chi Square Test We count the number of cases in each occupational category for each ward. At the edges of the table we total the rows and columns.

7. Graphic Illustration of the Counts of Occupational Groups by Ward

8. The Simplest Example….a 2 by 2 Table Do the opinions of men and women differ on the War in Iraq? Do the opinions of men and women differ on the importance of capturing Osama Bin Laden? Data: September 2006 ABC News Poll on the War on Terror. A Sample of about 1000 respondents.

12. Tabular Data

13. Some Terms and Assumptions Cell frequency: number in the body of the table Marginal total: total of the row or the column Row percent: the proportion of cases in the cell for the particular row. Column percent: the proportion of cases in the cell for the particular column Expected frequency: the number of cases expected based upon the marginal proportions Deviation: the difference between the expected frequency and the actual frequency

19. New Concept: Expected Frequencies What would the counts in the cells be if there was no impact of gender on attitudes towards the Iraq War? The marginal proportions would define the cell counts.

20. Expected Frequencies Row Total * Column Total/ Grand Total Or… Row Proportion * Column Total Or… Column Proportion * Row Total

30. Chi Square Chi Square = Sum of [ (Expected – Observed) 2 / Expected Frequency ] Chi Square Table: http://www.uwm.edu/~renlex/chisquare.html http://www.uwm.edu/~renlex/chisquare.html

31. Examples of Chi Square Distribution

32. Degrees of Freedom for Chi Square Degrees of Freedom = (r-1)* (c-1) So, 2 by 2 table has 1 degree of freedom 3 by 2 table has (3-1)(2-1)= 2 degrees of freedom

33. Calculations: Catching Osama bin Laden by Gender 640.09/198.3 = 3.23 640.09/220.7 = 2.90 640.09/251.7 = 2.54 640.09/280.3 = 2.29 Chi Square (SUM) = 10.96

34. Attitudes toward Iraq War by Gender

35. Calculations: Attitudes toward Iraq War by Gender 156.25/200.5 =.78 156.25/229.5 =.68 156.25/257.5 =.61 156.25/294.5 =.53 Chi Square (SUM) = 2.60 (not statistically signfication at.05 level)

36. Chi Square Test For a larger table, calculation is the same, but the number of terms increases. The number of terms is equal to the number of cells.

37. Concentration of Occupational Groups by Ward

38. Cross Tabulation Are the occupational patterns different in the four wards? Or….are the patterns a result of chance? (null hypothesis) How would we decide?
