Frequency tables

Tests, effect sizes, and explorations

ORCID logo | University of California, Santa Barbara
This chapter provides an overview of statistical tests to analyze frequency data. Specifically, it discusses the use, logic, and interpretation of chi-squared tests of two-dimensional frequency tables as well as the computation of effect sizes for such tables, followed by several extensions and follow-up procedures that are not usually discussed (such as the analysis of sub-tables of tables and the Marascuilo procedure). In addition, there is a brief discussion of how Poisson/count regression can be used to analyze frequency data with more than two dimensions.
Keywords: chi-squared test, frequency data, Marascuilo procedure, Poisson regression
