The final summed value follows chi-squared distribution. The second step is obtaining (O - E) 2/E for each cell and summing up the values over each cell. Similarly, the expected frequency of the male and A cell is 50 that is the proportion of 0.5 (proportion of A = 100/200 = 0.5) in 100 Males in example 3 ( Table 1).Įxpected frequency (E) of Male & A = Number of A * Number of Male Total number = p A * p male * total number In example 2, the expected frequency of the male and A cell is calculated as 30 that is the proportion of 0.3 (proportion of A) in 100 Males. Under independent relationship, the cell frequencies are determined only by marginal proportions, i.e., proportion of A (60/200 = 0.3) and B (1400/200 = 0.7) in example 2. E is calculated under the assumption of independent relation or, in other words, no association. The first step of the chi-squared test is calculation of expected frequencies (E). The test statistic of chi-squared test: χ 2 = ∑ ( 0 - E ) 2 E ~ χ 2 with degrees of freedom (r - 1)(c - 1), Where O and E represent observed and expected frequency, and r and c is the number of rows and columns of the contingency table. The chi-squared test performs an independency test under following null and alternative hypotheses, H 0 and H 1, respectively. In example 3, women had a greater chance to have the condition A ( p = 0.7) compared to men ( p = 0.3). Examples 1 and 2 in Table 1 show perfect independent relationship between condition (A and B) and gender (male and female), while example 3 represents a strong association between them. If there is equal chance of having the condition among men and women, we will find the chance of observing the condition is the same regardless of gender and can conclude their relationship as independent. We don't think gender is independent from the condition. For example, if men have a specific condition more than women, there is bigger chance to find a person with the condition among men than among women. Or we can say the categorical variable and groups are independent. If the distribution of the categorical variable is not much different over different groups, we can conclude the distribution of the categorical variable is not related to the variable of groups. If you have to use a numeric value, you are going to either need to manage numeric missingness in Excel or you need to translate the data as you read it in to SPSS.The chi-squared test is used to compare the distribution of a categorical variable in a sample or a group with the distribution in another one.
SPSS CHISQUARE CODE
If you have to do calculations in Excel, you should probably use that.īut if you're going to take it into SPSS you also need to worry about what SPSS can do with missing values if it has the ability to code missingness non-numerically, I'd suggest you use it. (But pause after typing the "A" so you can see the description of the function). In Excel, there's the function NA() which returns the missing value. In the 1960s, maybe even into the 1970s when there was no suitable alternative it made some sense, and packages (like SAS or SPSS) developed mechanisms to incorporate dealing with numerically-coded missingness.īut such an approach was always risky, and ever since missing values were actually codable in other things, that advice becomes outdated more generally. The psych textbook is giving you very bad advice there. The Psych textbook I'm using suggests a score of 99 or 999 for missing values, so if I put 99 for a missing value in excel and I am adding those scores together, is it going to affect my scores in Excel? 'perceived class' I have 4 speakers producing 2 separate guises and I thought the easiest way to ensure that my scores were above 5 for the chi-square for independence test would be to simply add all the scores per participants for each guise, for example, all 4 of participant 1's 'perceived class' scores for the 2 guises etc. My question is, do responses such as these count as missing values in my data? Also, is there a specific command in SPSS to ensure that you 'exclude cases pairwise' or is it an automatic thing?Īlso, In order to set up my data set on SPSS, I have ordered my data in Excel, before I copy it across to SPSS. Because of this, some of my responses are 'unknown' or sometimes the participants have put 'don't know' as a response. I'm conducting the above tests on my data, where my participants used Likert scales to analyse the personality traits of 2 guises produced by speakers from Devon. I'm a postgraduate student, doing a accent perception study, this is my first time using SPSS!
