Contingency Tables
• Nominal data that are grouped into categories are often presented in the form of contingency tables
• Rows denote levels of one variable (e.g. disease)
• Columns denote the levels of the other variable (e.g. exposure)
5
Consider whether the rate of caesareans is different for subjects receiving an electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), as compared to those without EMF.Sample 5,824 deliveries:
of these 2,850 were EFM exposedand 2,974 were not.358 of the 2,850 had c-sectionsas did 229 of the 2,974.
Binomial with n huge.
Example – Discrete Outcomes
6
Chi square test
Proceed as usual:
1. If there is no difference (null hypothesis) what do we
expect to see?
2. How does this compare to what we have observed? (statistic & its distribution)
Do the c-section rates differ?
Example – Discrete Outcomes

Data-Contingency table
If the c-section rate is the same in both populations, then ignore column classification and go with totals.

2x2 Table – Null Hypothesis
• Ho: The proportion of C-sections among patents receiving EFM is identical to the proportion of C-sections among patients who do not receive EMF
• Ha: The proportion of C-sections among patents receiving EFM is different from the proportion of C-sections among patients who do not receive EMF
9
From the totals we can estimate:
Probability of c-section
10
What do we expect to see if EFM has no effect?
EFM exposed (2,850 mothers):
No EFM (2,974 mothers)

In 2x2 tables (only) we applya continuity correction factor:

For the EFM and c-section example, above:
Example
Note: This is a 2 sided test

Equivalent Tests
• The above example can be analyzed equivalently using a two sample test of proportions (Chapter 14.6)
• 2 sample test of proportions (Z test) and Chi-Square test are mathematically equivalent
16
Assumptions – Chi Square test
• Chi square test – is an asymptotic test. i.e. Works only when sample size is large
• Chi Square test – treats the row total and column total of the data as fixed (i.e. not random)
17
Assumptions – 2 sample test of proportions
• Z test – is also an asymptotic test. Assumes that the Central Limit Theorem for sample means (i.e. proportions) holds. Thus this test is appropriate only when sample size is large
• Z test – assumes that the proportions in each group being compared are random variables
