Question: Calculate and interpret lambda for the following bivariate table. Show all of your work.
SEX BY GOVERNOR’S APPROVAL RATING
Solution: We get
Directional Measures | ||||||
Value | Asymp. Std. Errora | Approx. Tb | Approx. Sig. | |||
Nominal by Nominal | Lambda | Symmetric | .157 | .062 | 2.418 | .016 |
approval Dependent | .103 | .064 | 1.546 | .122 | ||
gender Dependent | .227 | .082 | 2.469 | .014 | ||
Goodman and Kruskal tau | approval Dependent | .067 | .020 | .000c | ||
gender Dependent | .144 | .040 | .000c | |||
a. Not assuming the null hypothesis. | ||||||
b. Using the asymptotic standard error assuming the null hypothesis. | ||||||
c. Based on chi-square approximation |
Hence, we get lambda = 0.157. Also, if the gender is known, we observe a decrease of 22.7% in the error, whereas if Approval is known we see a decrease of 10.3% in the error.
8) a) What does it mean if standard deviation = 0?
