Tabulate

 

Menu location: Data_Organizing_Tabulate.

 

This a simple two way cross tabulation function. If you have two columns of numbers that correspond to different classifications of the same individuals then you can use this function to give a two way frequency table for the cross classification.

 

If you need to stratify by a third classification variable, or you want to perform analyses straight away on you cross tabulation, then please see the Analysis_Crosstabs function instead.

 

Example

 

A database of test scores contains two fields of interest, sex (M=1, F=0) and grade of skin reaction to an antigen (none = 0, weak + = 1, strong + = 2). Here is a list of those fields for 10 patients:

 

Sex	Reaction
0	0
1	1
1	2
0	2
1	2
0	1
0	0
0	1
1	2
1	0

 

In order to get a cross tabulation of these from StatsDirect you should enter these data in two workbook columns. Then choose Tabulate from the Grouping section of the Data menu.

 

For this example:

 

	Reaction:0	Reaction:1	Reaction:2
	0	1	2
sex:0	2	2	1
sex:1	1	1	3
