Applied Statistics Using SAS
and SPSS
Topic: Chi-square tests
By Prof Kelly Fan, Cal. State Univ., East Bay

Outline
ALL variables must be categorical
Goal one: verify a distribution of Y
One-sample Chi-square test (SPSS lesson 40; SAS
handout)
Goal two: test the independence between two categorical
variables
Chi-square test for two-way contingency table (SPSS
lesson 41; SAS section 3.G)
McNemar’s test for paired data (SPSS lesson 44; SAS
section 3.L)
Measure the dependence (Phil and Kappa coefficients)
(SPSS lesson 41, 44; SAS section 3.G, 3.M)

Example: Postpartum Depression Study
Are women equally likely to show an
increase, no change, or a decrease in
depression as a function of childbirth?
Are the proportions associated with a
decrease, no change, and an increase in
depression from before to after childbirth
the same?

One-sample Chi-Square Test
Must be a random sample
The sample size must be large enough so
that expected frequencies are greater than
or equal to 5 for 80% or more of the
categories

One-sample Chi-Square Test
Test statistic:

Oi = the observed frequency of i-th category
ei = the expected frequency of i-th category

Conclusion
Reject Ho
The proportions associated with a
decrease, no change, and an increase in
depression from before to after childbirth
are significantly different to 1/3, 1/3, 1/3.

Example: Postpartum Depression Study
Are the proportions associated with a
change and no change from before to after
childbirth the same?

Two-way Contingency Tables
Report frequencies on two variables
Such tables are also called crosstabs.

Crosstabs Analysis (Two-way Chisquare test)
Chi-square test for testing the
independence between two variables:
1. For a fixed column, the distribution of
frequencies over rows keeps the same
regardless of the column
2. For a fixed row, the distribution of
frequencies over columns keeps the
same regardless of the row
14
Measure of dependence for 2x2 tables
The phi coefficient measures the
association between two categorical
variables
-1 < phi < 1
| phi | indicates the strength of the
association
If the two variables are both ordinal, then
the sign of phi indicate the direction of
association

Measure of dependence for non-2x2 tables
Cramers V
Range from 0 to 1
V may be viewed as the association between
two variables as a percentage of their
maximum possible variation.
V= phi for 2x2, 2x3 and 3x2 tables
18
Fisher’s Exact Test for Independence
The Chi-squared tests are ONLY for large
samples:
The sample size must be large enough so
that expected frequencies are greater than
or equal to 5 for 80% or more of the
categories

Matched-pair Data
Comparing categorical responses for two
“paired” samples
When either
Each sample has the same subjects (or say
subjects are measured twice)
Or
A natural pairing exists between each subject in
one sample and a subject form the other sample
(eg. Twins)

Marginal Homogeneity
The probabilities of “success” for both
samples are identical
Eg. The probability of approve at the first
and 2nd surveys are identical

McNemar Test (for 2x2 Tables only)
