Purpose
Crosstabulation (contingency, cross-tabulation, or crosstab tables) is a combination of two (or
more) frequency tables arranged such that each cell in the resulting table
represents a unique combination of specific values of crosstabulated variables.
Thus, crosstabulation allows us to examine frequencies of observations that
belong to specific categories on more than one variable.
Preparations
Run Statistics→Basic Statistics and Tables→Cross
Tabulation....
Select following
variables
-
Row variable (required) -
specifies the row number for each observation
-
Column variable (required) -
specifies the column number for each observation
-
Frequency variable (optional)
- specifies the number of observations that each row represents. When
omitted, each row represents a single observation. (Frequency variable is
assumed to be (1,1,1,1,...) )
-
Layer (Break) Variable
(optional) - defines layers of two-way table. Each level of the layering
variable is a separate two-way table. This variable distinct values will
cause separate tables to be generated.
Results
Frequency tables are made in result of running this procedure.
Please note
following output table layout:
