  1. Association An Introduction to Concept Correspondence

  2. Pesticides and Organic Food

  3. Pesticides and Organic Food • What is the dependent variable? • A. Pesticides • B. Organic food • C. There is no dependent variable • D. There is no variance

  4. Conditional proportions • Why do we estimate conditional proportions? • A. So that we can predict an outcome based on certain conditions • B. So that we can help make a causal inference between a condition and an outcome • C. So that we can estimate frequency distributions based on certain conditions • D. All of the above

  5. Independence • What does a conditional proportion look like if the condition and the outcome are independent? • A. The outcome varies across different conditions • B. The condition is independent of the outcome • C. The frequencies are the same, regardless of the condition • D. The outcome varies, but is independent of many conditions

  6. Crosstabs

  7. Types of relationships • Linear • Spurious • Intervening • Interaction effects • Suppression

  8. Linear effects

  9. Crosstabs analysis • Like a frequency table, it reports how many and what percentage fall into a particular category, but for two variables instead of one • Not suitable for continuous variables; only for discretely measured variables • It is sometimes useful to recode a variable with too many categories FOR THE PURPOSES OF ILLUSTRATION ONLY

  10. Conventions • the independent variable is arranged across the top of the table in columns • Percentages should be calculated using COLUMN • Dependent variable always in rows
