VB: Crosstabulation statistics for a nominal and ordinal variable

Staffan Lindberg

Dear list!

 

I got an interesting solution from Carol Paris. Never thought of “sresid” that way. Could maybe be of interest to other members of the list.

Staffan,

 

in the /cells subcommand, add "sresid". This gives you a standardizsed residual for each cell of your crosstabs table. If a standardized residual is <-1.96 or >1.96, the frequency of the cell is statistically greater than or less than expected. It's sometimes helpful to included the /expected value in the cell also so you can see what the expected frequency is versus the observed frequency.

Subject: Crosstabulation statistics for a nominal and ordinal variable

Dear list!

 

I have a crosstabulation problem. I have 2 treatment groups (independent) as the column variable and an ordinal variable (often, seldom, never) as the row variable.  I get a highly significant chi square using exact test (I got some expected frequencies less than 5).  I, however would like to pinpoint where the main differences lie (within the ordinal variable) by pairwise comparisons. Besides doing this by creating new dichotomized variables and performing new analyses on these, is there a simpler and more economical way of doing this?
