Abstract: Abstract This chapter investigates relationships in categorical data. It begins with a discussion of contingency tables and clustered bar charts as descriptive measures. The chi-square test for contingency tables is discussed. If the two categorical variables are found to be related, then the strength of that relationship is measured using Cramér’s V for nominal variables and Gamma for ordinal variables.
