1 Chi square test of independence We can eyeball differences between percentages to determine whether they seem large enough to be important Better: Are differences in percentages statistically significant? Statistical significance: are observed differences significantly different from zero that they could not occur by chance? Chi square test of independence Statistical significance often used as measure of substantive importance But, statistical significance and importance are theoretically distinct Some differences can be statistically significant but not very important substantively 1
2 Chi square test of independence Use chi square test of independence for cross classification tables Chi square test tells you whether two variables are statistically associated Are the differences we observe in the sample likely to persist in the population? Association Association: two variables covary, either positively or negatively We test for significant association by comparing our observed frequencies to a model that assumes statistical independence 2
3 Statistical independence Belief in life after Religious affiliation (hypothetical) Protestant Catholic Jewish Other No Statistical independence Belief in life after Religious affiliation (hypothetical) Protestant Catholic Jewish Other 120 (60%) 90 (60%) 30 (60%) 60 (60%) No
4 Statistical independence Belief in life after No Religious affiliation (hypothetical) Protestant Catholic Jewish Other (60%) (60%) (60%) (60%) Total Interpretation: religious affiliation has no effect on whether one believes in life after Statistical association (statistical dependence) Percentage believing in life after by religious affiliation Belief in life after Religious affiliation Protestant Catholic Jewish Other N () (1) () (100) 4
5 Chi square test of independence Do these differences by religious affiliation reflect true differences in the population? Are the observed differences large enough that we re sure they re not due purely to chance? Might we just have a weird sample? Chi square test of independence Chi square tests for independence between two nominal (or ordinal) variables H o: statistical independence (no differences across religious affiliation) H a : statistical dependence (association between religious affiliation and attitudes toward life after ) 5
6 Chi square test of independence Chi square: based on comparison between frequencies observed in cells of table and the numbers you would expect if variables were statistically independent f 0 = observed fe = expected frequencies frequencies Chi square test of independence f e = r x c n where, r = row total c = column total n = # of cases 6
7 Belief in life after Calculating chi square: observed frequencies Prot. Religious affiliation Cath. Jewish Other Row totals No Column totals Calculating expected frequencies: for Catholics who say yes f e = rxc = (300)(1) f e n =
8 Belief in life after No Column totals Calculating chi square: expected frequencies Prot. 1 (120) (etc.) Religious affiliation Cath. 130 (90) 20 (etc.) 1 Jewish 5 (etc.) 45 (etc.) Other 15 (etc.) 85 (40) 100 Row totals Chi square ( f f 2 e) χ 2 = o f e 8
9 Chi square ( fo = fe) 2 χ fe = (1-120) 2 /120 + (- 80) 2 / (85-40) 2 /40 χ 2 = Chi square: evaluation If H 0 of no association is true, then f o and f e will be close and the chi square value small If H 0 of no association is false, f o and f e should be relatively farther apart, and hence the chi square value larger Chi square value = 0 when f o = f e 9
10 Chi square evaluation made easy How big is χ 2 = ? Evaluate relative to degrees of freedom for the table (a measure of the number of rows and columns) Also sensitive to sample size (the larger the N the greater the statistic) How big is χ 2 = ? Decide on how confident you want to be that the null hypothesis (H 0 ) is false Typically, either 95% or 99% confident If 95%, then possibility of error is.05 If 99%, then possibility of error is.01 Let s assume.05 level of error 10
11 Chi square distribution: how big is χ 2 = ? ρ =.05 Note: χ 2 never negative χ 2 (.05) = 7.8 Chi square distribution: how big is χ 2 = ? SAS provides p values for you Want p <=.05 (indicates significance) p = probability, when H 0 is true, of getting a value at least as large as the observed χ 2 11
12 Chi square test of independence Percentage believing in life after by religious affiliation Belief in life after Religious affiliation Protestant Catholic Jewish Other () (1) () (100) χ 2 : p <=.0001 Substantively: Interpretation Religious affiliation is significantly associated with belief in life after 12
