  1. Module 21: 2 For Contingency Tables This module presents the 2 test for contingency tables, which can be used for tests of association and for differences between proportions Reviewed 06 June 05 /MODULE 21 21- 1

  2. Contingency Tables Contingency tables are very common types of tables used to summarize. The cells of these tables typically include counts of something and/or percentages. For our purposes, we can use only those tables that have integers that are counts. If you are interested in analyzing data in a contingency table that includes only percentages in the cells, then you must convert these percentages into counts in order to proceed. 21- 2

  6. Association Hypothesis H0: There is no association between the classification of the numbers of patients who kept their appointments and the classification of the sex of the patients, vs. H1: There is association between the classification of the numbers of patients who kept their appointments and the classification of the sex of the patients. 21- 6

  7. Proportions Hypothesis The association hypothesis can also be tested using a test of proportions hypothesis: H0: PM = PF vs. H1: PMPF where PM = Proportion of males in population who “kept their appointments,” PF = Proportion of females in population who “kept their appointments.” 21- 7

  8. Contingency Tables Contingency tables have: r = number of rows, not counting any totals c = number of columns, not counting any totals r  c = number of cells Approach is to compare observed number in each cell with the number expected under the assumption that the null hypothesis of no association is true. 21- 8

  9. Calculating Expected Numbers Calculating the number expected in each contingency table cell under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true is, in practice, quite simple. This number is equal to the total for the row the cell is in times the total for the column the cell is in divided by the overall total for the table. You may be interested in working out why this is true; however, it really isn’t worth the effort. The algebraic expression is: 21- 9

  10. Calculating χ2 The value of the test statistic χ2 calculated by comparing the observed number (O) to the expected number (E) in each cell according to the following formula: The result of this calculation is then compared to the appropriate value in the tables for the χ2 distribution. These are in the Table Module 3: The χ2 Distribution. Note that you need to look up χ20.95(df) for a test with the -level at  = 0.05. 21- 10

  11. So, for a 22 table, df = (2-1)(2-1) = 11=1 Reject H0: if 2 20.95(1) = 3.84 21- 11

  12. 2 Test for Appointment Keeping Example 1 • H0: There is no association between the classification of the numbers of patients who kept their appointments and the classification of the sex of the patients, • vs. • H1: There is association between the classification of the numbers of patients who kept their appointments and the classification of the sex of the patients. • The hypothesis: H0: PM = PF vs. H1: PM PF • The assumption: Contingency table • 3. The  – level: = 0.05 21- 12

  22. 2 Test for Appointment Keeping Example 3 • H0: There is no association between the classification of the numbers of patients who kept their appointments and the classification of the ethnicity of the patients, • vs. • H1: There is association between the classification of the numbers of patients who kept their appointments and the classification of the ethnicity of the patients. • The hypothesis: H0: PP = PB= Pw vs. H1: PP PB ≠ Pw • The assumption: Contingency table • 3.
