Applied Statistics Using SPSS

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

2. Outline • ALL variables must be categorical • Goal one: verify a distribution of Y • One-sample Chi-square test (SPSS lesson 40) • Goal two: test the independence between two categorical variables • Chi-square test for two-way contingency table (SPSS lesson 41) • McNemar’s test for paired data (SPSS lesson 44) • Measure the dependence (Phil and Kappa coefficients) (SPSS lesson 41, 44) • Goal three: test the independence between two categorical variables after controlling the third factor • Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square test (SPSS in class)

3. 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?

4. Raw data vs. Grouped data • Raw data: • Grouped data are shown in next slide.

5. Example: Postpartum Depression Study From a random sample of 60 women

6. 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

7. One-sample Chi-Square Test • Test statistic: Oi = the observed frequency of i-th category ei = the expected frequency of i-th category

8. SPSS Output • Weight your data by count first (data>>weight cases) • Analyze >> Nonparametric Tests >> Legacy Dialogs >> Chi Square, count as test variable

9. 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.

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

11. Example: Postpartum Depression Study From a random sample of 60 women

12. SPSS Output

13. Conclusion • It is equally like to experience change or no change in depression before and after child birth. • Question: For those who do experience change, is it equally like to be less or more depressed?

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

15. Contingency Tables (Crosstabs) 1991 General Social Survey

16. Crosstabs Analysis (Two-way Chi-square test) • Chi-square test for testing the independence between two variables: • For a fixed column, the distribution of frequencies over rows keeps the same regardless of the column • For a fixed row, the distribution of frequencies over columns keeps the same regardless of the row

17. 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

18. SPSS Output • P. 332 : Data>> weight cases>> Weight cases by, select count variable • P. 333: Analyze >> descriptive statistics >> crosstabs, cell

19. 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

20. 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

21. SPSS Output • SPSS output: in “crosstabs” window, click “exact”, then tick “exact”:

22. 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 from the other sample (eg. Twins)

23. Example: Rating for Prime Minister

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

25. McNemar Test (for 2x2 Tables only) • SPSS: Lesson 44 • Ho: marginal homogeneity Ha: no marginal homogeneity • Exact p-value • Approximate p-value (When n12+n21>10)

26. Output In SPSS: Analyze >> Descriptive statistics >> crosstabs, in “statistics” tick “Kappa” and “McNemar” McNemar's Test Statistic (S) 17.3559 DF 1 Asymptotic Pr > S <.0001 Exact Pr >= S 3.716E-05 Simple Kappa Coefficient Kappa 0.6996 ASE 0.0180 95% Lower Conf Limit 0.6644 95% Upper Conf Limit 0.7348 Sample Size = 1600 Level of agreement

27. SPSS Output • SPSS(p. 361): Analyze >>Nonparametric tests >> Legacy dialogs >> 2 related samples; in “two-samples tests” tick “McNemar” and click “exact”, then tick “exact” again

28. Stratified 2 by 2 Tables (Meta-Analysis) • Goal: to investigate the risk factor (lack of sleep) to the outcome (failing a test)

29. Cochran Mantel-Haenszel Test • After Importing your dataset, and providing names to variables, click on: • ANALYZE >> DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS >> CROSSTABS • For ROWS, Select the Independent Variable • For COLUMNS, Select the Dependent Variable • For LAYERS, Select the Strata Variable • Under STATISTICS, Click on COCHRAN’S AND MANTEL-HAENSZEL STATISTICS • NOTE: You will want to code the data so that the outcome present (Yes) category has the lower value (e.g. 1) and the outcome absent (No) category has the higher value (e.g. 2). Do the same for risk factor: 1 for exposure; 2 for no exposure. Use Value Labels to keep output straight.
