Complex Samples Crosstabs

The Complex Samples Crosstabs procedure produces crosstabulation tables for pairs of selected variables and displays two-way statistics. Optionally, you can request statistics by subgroups, defined by one or more categorical variables.

Example. Using the Complex Samples Crosstabs procedure, you can obtain cross-classification statistics for smoking frequency by vitamin usage of U.S. citizens, based on the results of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and with an appropriate analysis plan for this public-use data.

Statistics. The procedure produces estimates of cell population sizes and row, column, and table percentages, plus standard errors, confidence intervals, coefficients of variation, expected values, design effects, square roots of design effects, residuals, adjusted residuals, and unweighted counts for each estimate. The odds ratio, relative risk, and risk difference are computed for 2-by-2 tables. Additionally, Pearson and likelihood-ratio statistics are computed for the test of independence of the row and column variables.

Data. Row and column variables should be categorical. Subpopulation variables can be string or numeric but should be categorical.

Assumptions. The cases in the data file represent a sample from a complex design that should be analyzed according to the specifications in the file selected in the Complex Samples Plan dialog box.
