CHI-SQUAREA test of statistical significance
![Page 7: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Hypothesis Testing
• To determine whether a relationship exists between two variables and did not arise by chance. (Statistical Significance)
• To measure the strength of the relationship between an independent and a dependent variable? (association)
![Page 8: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Things about Chi-Square
• It is not a test of strength, just significance
• Chi-square is inflated by large samples
• It is a test that tries to disprove the null hypothesis.
• An insignificant chi-square means that no relationship exists.
![Page 9: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Chi-Square is an up or down measure
• If our significance value is less than or equal to.05 table, we reject the null hypothesis- we have a relationship
• if our Chi-Square value from our test is greater than .05 we accept the null hypothesis and we have no relationship

An Easy One
• Dataset- NES 2008 • DV= Who08 • IV= Race
• Null- There is no relationship between Race and Vote in 2008
• Alternate- African Americans are More likely to Vote for Obama

MEASURES OF ASSOCIATIONNominal Variables
![Page 18: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why Measures of Association
• Chi-Square only tests for significance
• It does not say how strongly the variables are related
• We Use a Measure of Association to Do this
![Page 19: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A measure of association is a single number that reflects the strength
of the relationship
![Page 20: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Measures of association for Nominal Variables tell us:
• Strength of the Relationship
• The statistical significance of the relationship
• These go hand in hand
![Page 21: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Measures of Association for Nominal Variables
Measure of Association Range Characteristics
Lambda 0 - 1.0may underestimate, but a PRE measure
Phi 0 - 1.0Use for a 2x2 table only and is Chi-square based
Cramer's V 0 - 1.0Chi-square based and the compliment to PHI.

A value of 1.00 means a perfect relationship, a value of .000 means no relationship
![Page 23: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lambda• What kinds of variables
are needed for Lambda?
• Lambda ranges from 0 (no relation) to 1 (a perfect relationship)
• It measures how much better one can predict the value of each case on the DV if one knows the value of the IV
![Page 24: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Interpreting Lambda
• .000 to .10 none
• .10-.20 weak
• .20-.30 moderate
• .30-.40 strong
• .40 and above- there is a very strong relationship
![Page 25: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reading Lambda in SPSS
• IN SPSS, LAMBDA GIVES YOU 3 DIFFERENT VALUES
• Symmetric- always ignore • Two measures of your dependent variable – always use the lambda associated with your
dependent variable. – If you place the dependent variable as the ROW
VARIABLE, this will be the middle value.
• Help from Rocky IV. And the video

The one in the middle
The significance of the Lambda

Lambda as a PRE Measure
• Proportional Reduction in Error (PRE)
• this is defined as the improvement, expressed as a Percentage, in predicting a dependent variable due to knowledge of the independent variable.
• How well we can predict the dependent variable by knowing the independent variable?
![Page 28: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Converting a Lambda to a Percent
• We take the value of our association measure • Multiply by 100% • this is our PRE value.

Problems with Lambda
• It fears a TYPE I error so it is very conservative
• Lambda can Underestimate relationships, even when there are significant chi-square values.
• If the modal category is even, Lambda is pretty useless.

ALTERNATIVES TO LAMBDAPhi and Cramer’s V
![Page 34: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cramer’s V
• An alternative to Lambda
• Ranges from 0 -1.0
• Not a Pre Measure
![Page 35: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Phi
• Measured similarly to Lambda
• You will use this with 2x2 tables only
![Page 36: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
An Example
• Here we can say with a .369 Cramer's V, that we have a very strong relationship between our independent and dependent variables.
![Page 37: Chi-Square Testing 10/23/2012. Readings Chapter 7 Tests of Significance and Measures of Association (Pollock) (pp. 155-169) Chapter 5 Making Controlled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e895503460f94b8ea05/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Phi And Cramer’s V
Interpreting them• .000 to .10 none
• .10-.15 weak
• .15-25 moderate
• .25.- 40 strong
• .40 and above- there is a very strong relationship
Limitations• Neither are PRE Measures
• They are both Chi-square based so large samples inflate it

What the Cramer’s V Tells Us
• If the Modal category is hard to predict, Lambda falls flat
• What we see is a weak-to-moderate relationship here.
• Independents and Democrats are different
