Cell Count and Residuals

Figure 1. Cell count and residuals
Cell count and residuals from Model Selection Loglinear Analysis.

The goodness-of-fit statistics are based on the cells of the cell count and residuals table. Cells in the table represent the cross-classification of the factors. Thus, the first row of the table pertains to respondents who have a newspaper subscription and a household income under $25,000. The observed column reports the number and percentage of cases observed in the data file that are in the cross-classification. The expected column reports the number of cases you would expect to see in the cell if the model is correct. The residuals are measures of the difference between the observed and predicted values. Large residuals can indicate cells that are not well fit by the model.
