Book Multiway Contingency Tables Analysis for the Social Sciences

Download or read book Multiway Contingency Tables Analysis for the Social Sciences written by Thomas D. Wickens and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the principles and techniques needed to analyze data that form a multiway contingency table. Wickens discusses the description of association in such data using log-linear and log-multiplicative models and defines how the presence of association is tested using hypotheses of independence and quasi-independence. The application of the procedures to real data is then detailed. This volume does not presuppose prior experience or knowledge of statistics beyond basic courses in fundamentals of probability and statistical inference. It serves as an ideal reference for professionals or as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students involved in statistics in the social sciences.

Book Pairwise Comparisons and Homogeneity of Odds Ratios in Stratified 2 X 2 Contingency Tables

Download or read book Pairwise Comparisons and Homogeneity of Odds Ratios in Stratified 2 X 2 Contingency Tables written by Sanduni Pathum Laksara Palliyagi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Categorical data are used in almost every field. When confounding variables are encountered, data are stratified. This study is about testing homogeneity in stratified 2 x 2 contingency tables. We propose the Range test and perform a series of pairwise comparison methods. Test statistics are obtained by using the variance of the log odds ratio estimator based on the second order Taylor expansion. For testing homogeneity of odds ratios across strata, the Breslow-Day test (Breslow and Day, 1980) is widely used. We propose the Range test for testing equal odds ratios across strata for large sample sizes relative to the number of strata. The Range test can be used as an equivalent for the Breslow-Day test. Among the pairwise comparison methods proposed, the Holland-Copenhaver procedure and the Holm-Bonferroni procedure can be used regardless of the sample sizes. The Bonferroni and the Dunn-Šidák procedures outperform the Holland-Copenhaver and the Holm-Bonferroni procedures for large sample sizes.

Book The Analysis of Contingency Tables  Second Edition

Download or read book The Analysis of Contingency Tables Second Edition written by Brian S. Everitt and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the data collected in medicine and the social sciences is categorical, for example, sex, marital status, blood group, whether a smoker or not and so on, rather than interval-scaled. Frequently the researcher collecting such data is interested in the relationships or associations between pairs, or between a set of such categorical variables; often the data is displayed in the form of a contingency table for example, smoker versus non-smoker against death from lung cancer or death from some other cause. This text gives a comprehensive account of the analysis of such tables, written at a level suitable for the applied researcher. The first edition of "The Analysis of Contingency Tables" arose from Professor A.E. Maxwell's earlier text, "Analysing Qualitative Data". In this new edition, more material is included that those methods which have developed over the last decade or so, for example, logistic regression models for tables with ordered categories and for response variables with more than two categories. A brief account is given of the increasingly important technique, correspondence analysis. The methods of analysis described in this book should be relevant to research workers and graduate students dealing with data from surveys, particularly in the area of psychiatry, social sciences and psychology.
