Re: example output from crosstabs column proportions

Here is another example; this is from my actual dataset, and it's a larger
than 2x2 table. Variables are Party (4 levels) and Tea Party (2 levels,
yes or no). I used compare column percentages, with Bonferroni correction.
And this is what I got. Hope it lines up right.

Am I interpreting this correctly to say that it means Republicans differ
significantly from Democrats, Libertarians, and Socialists in terms of the
proportions of them who are members of the Tea Party, and also
Libertarians differ significantly from Democrats and Socialists, but
Socialists and Democrats don't differ from each other?


Tea Party * Party Crosstabulation

                                Party
                                             Republican Democrat        Libertarian     Socialist
Tea Party       No      Count    23a                         76b                   41c
 45b
                % within Party  41.8%             100.0%                   69.5%                   100.0%

                        Yes     Count      32a                        0b
   18c              0b
                % within Party  58.2%                  .0%               30.5%             .0%

Each subscript letter denotes a subset of Party categories whose column
proportions do not differ significantly from each other at the .05 level.
