Types of Chi-square tests You use a Chi-square test for hypothesis tests about whether your data is as expected. How to perform a Chi-square test For both the Chi-square goodness of fit test and the Chi-square test of independence , you perform the same analysis steps, listed below.
Define your null and alternative hypotheses before collecting your data. Decide on the alpha value. This involves deciding the risk you are willing to take of drawing the wrong conclusion.
Check the data for errors. If you have turned on the chi-square test results and have specified a layer variable, SPSS will subset the data with respect to the categories of the layer variable, then run chi-square tests between the row and column variables. This is not equivalent to testing for a three-way association, or testing for an association between the row and column variable after controlling for the layer variable.
D Statistics: Opens the Crosstabs: Statistics window, which contains fifteen different inferential statistics for comparing categorical variables. E Cells: Opens the Crosstabs: Cell Display window, which controls which output is displayed in each cell of the crosstab. Note: in a crosstab, the cells are the inner sections of the table. They show the number of observations for a given combination of the row and column categories. There are three options in this window that are useful but optional when performing a Chi-Square Test of Independence:.
This option is enabled by default. F Format: Opens the Crosstabs: Table Format window, which specifies how the rows of the table are sorted. In the sample dataset, respondents were asked their gender and whether or not they were a cigarette smoker.
There were three answer choices: Nonsmoker, Past smoker, and Current smoker. Before we test for "association", it is helpful to understand what an "association" and a "lack of association" between two categorical variables looks like. One way to visualize this is using clustered bar charts. Let's look at the clustered bar chart produced by the Crosstabs procedure. This is the chart that is produced if you use Smoking as the row variable and Gender as the column variable running the syntax later in this example :.
The "clusters" in a clustered bar chart are determined by the row variable in this case, the smoking categories. The color of the bars is determined by the column variable in this case, gender. The height of each bar represents the total number of observations in that particular combination of categories.
This type of chart emphasizes the differences within the categories of the row variable. Notice how within each smoking category, the heights of the bars i. That is, there are an approximately equal number of male and female nonsmokers; approximately equal number of male and female past smokers; approximately equal number of male and female current smokers. If there were an association between gender and smoking, we would expect these counts to differ between groups in some way.
The first table is the Case Processing summary, which tells us the number of valid cases used for analysis. Only cases with nonmissing values for both smoking behavior and gender can be used in the test.
Rather, we conclude that there is not enough evidence to suggest an association between gender and smoking. Recall that the column percentages of the crosstab appeared to indicate that upperclassmen were less likely than underclassmen to live on campus:.
The clustered bar chart from the Crosstabs procedure can act as a complement to the column percentages above. Let's look at the chart produced by the Crosstabs procedure for this example:. The "clusters" are formed by the row variable in this case, class rank.
This type of chart emphasizes the differences within the underclassmen and upperclassmen groups. Here, the differences in number of students living on campus versus living off-campus is much starker within the class rank groups. Only cases with nonmissing values for both class rank and living on campus can be used in the test. Financial Analysis. Tools for Fundamental Analysis. Advanced Technical Analysis Concepts.
