QIM 511 SPSS: Chi-Square Test Presented By:ang ling pohongmei yeansoopeizhi
Nonparametric Techniques • Is used when having serious violations of distribution assumptions or not normal • Appropriate for data measured on scales that are not interval or ratio. • Selection of nonparametric techniques are: • Chi-square tests • Mann-Whitney test • Wilcoxon signed-rank test • Kruskal-Wallis test • Friedman test • Spearman’s rank-order correlation
Chi-square Tests • 2 Main types • 3 assumptions to deal before conducting chi-square tests: • Random sampling • Independence of observations • Size of expected frequencies
Chi-square test for Goodness of Fit • used to compare observed and expected frequencies in each category. • sample size is usually small
Chi-square test for Goodness of Fit • Steps to conduct chi-square test for goodness of fit: • Select the Data menu • Click on Weight Cases to open the dialogue box • Click on the Weight cases by radio button • Select the relevant variable and move to Frequency Variable • Then, select Analyze menu • Click on Nonparametric Tests and then Chi Square • Select the required variable to move into Test Variable List box
Goodness of fit chi square Output file will look like this: • You can see from the output that the chi-square value is no significant (p > .05).
Interpreting Chi square test for Goodness of Fit Example Color preference of 150 people, p < 0.05
Chi-square requires that you use numerical values, not percentage or ratios. • Chi-square should not be calculated if the expected value in any category is less than 5. Color preference of 150 people
Calculate chi-square 2 = Chi-square O = Observed frequency E = Expected frequency k = number of categories, groupings, or possible outcomes
Calculate chi-square 2 = 26.95
Calculate Degrees of freedom (df) • Refers to the number of values that are free to vary after restriction has been placed on data. • Defined as N- 1, the number in the group minus one restriction. df = N – 1 = 5 – 1 = 4
Critical 2 values 2 = 26.95 , df = 4 , p < 0.05 • If chi-square value is bigger than critical value, reject null hypothesis. • If chi-square value is smaller than critical value, fail to reject null hypothesis. Critical 2
Chi-square Test for Relatedness or Independence • Used to evaluate group differences when the test variable is nominal, dichotomous, ordinal, or grouped interval. • A test of the influence or impact that a subject’s value on one variable has on the same subject’s value for a second variable.
Chi-square Test for Relatedness or Independence • Steps to conduct chi-square test for goodness of fit: • Select the Analyze menu • Click on Descriptive Statistics and then Crosstabs • Select a row and column variable to move into the respective box • Click on Statistics command pushbutton to open Crosstabs: Statistics subdialogue box • Click on the Chi-square check box then Continue • Click on the Cells subdialogue box • In the Counts box, click on the Observed and Expected check boxes • In the Percentages box, click on the Row, Column andTotal check boxes • Click on Continue and then OK.
Interpreting Chi square test for Relatedness or Independence Example Incidence of three types of malaria in three tropical regions. H0 : The two categorical variables are independent. H1. : The two categorical variables are related.
Calculate expected frequency e = expected frequency c = frequency for that column r = frequency for that row n = total number of subjects in study
Calculate expected frequency 90 x 86 e = 250 = 30.96
Calculate chi-square 2 = 125.516
Calculate Degrees of freedom (df) df = (r-1)(c-1) = (3-1)(3-1) = (2)(2) = 4 r = number of categories in the row variable c = number of categories in the column variable
Find critical 2 values 2 = 125.516 , df = 4 , p < 0.05 Critical 2 Chi-square value is bigger than critical chi-square value, reject null hypothesis.
