4. The Cross Table

The Cross Table is a basic and simple way to analyze data. Many cross-tabulations are often equivalent to a three-dimensional bar chart, which shows total sums and occurrences.

Details:

The Cross Table tool has options for testing independence test (chi-square, measures of association) and homogeneity test (Fisher Mcnemar chi-square)..

Example 1:

Two batches (A and B) of manufactured items were randomly sampled to determine whether the proportion of defective items is different for the two batches. The data is described below

Item Lot Status
1 A Defective
2 A Not Defective
3 A Not Defective
4 A Not Defective
5 A Not Defective
6 A Not Defective
7 A Not Defective
8 A Defective
9 A Not Defective
10 A Not Defective
11 A Not Defective
12 A Not Defective
13 A Not Defective
14 A Not Defective
15 A Defective
16 A Not Defective
17 A Not Defective
18 A Not Defective
19 A Defective
20 A Not Defective
21 A Not Defective

23 A Not Defective
24 A Not Defective

1 B Not Defective
2 B Defective

We will then upload the data into the system.

Setting up as shown in the figure below to make the Cross Table.

Then click Calculate to get the results. You can also generate the analyses and download them in Word format.

The results are as follows:

Cross Table

Defective Not.Defective Total
A 5 25 30
B 7 23 30
Total 12 48 60

Table Proportion

Defective Not Defective
A 0.083 0.417
B 0.117 0.383

Proportion per Line

Defective Not Defective
A 0.167 0.833
B 0.233 0.767

Proportion by Column

Defective Not Defective
A 0.417 0.521
B 0.583 0.479

The tables below show the absolute and percentage occurrences of the cases studied. They show that 58.33% of all defective items (12 overall) are in the first batch (B), with A accounting for 41.67%. This difference does not appear to be significant, since the two percentages are relatively close.

Example 2:

Let’s consider the following classification of the activity (in "retarded" and "non-retarded") of 90 psychiatric patients (classified as "with affective disorders", "schizophrenics" and "neurotics").

If we want to test whether the type of activity is not influenced by the type of psychiatric disorder, then we should estimate the expected frequencies and after calculating the test statistic, we get Chi-Square=5.7 and p-value=0.058, so we don’t reject the null hypothesis. We therefore conclude that there is no dependence between the type of activity and the type of psychiatric disorder, with a significance level of 5%.

Example 3:

We looked at the data collected in a study on the side effects caused by a drug. To carry out this study, we used the drug on 50 patients, and used another 50 patients as a control group, administering a placebo.
