Abstract

This paper re-introduces and demonstrates the use of Mickey’s (1970) canonical correlation method in analyzing large two-dimensional contingency tables. This method of analysis supplements the traditional analysis using the Pearson chi-square. Examples and a MATLAB source listing are provided.

Summary

Introduction

Introduction to bivariate and multivariate analysisGlenville, IL: Scott, Foresman & Company.Macdonald, P. The traditional approach to 2-dimensional contingency tables did not yield information about categorical variables in the same way that canonical correlation could (Mickey, 1970). Et al.’s (2000) approach was to take a contingency table and transform it into a correlation matrix that is submitted to a canned computer program such as SPSS1 or SAS for canonical analysis. This paper will examine the Mickey method of analyzing contingency table data using canonical correlation.
