Partitioning LR chi-square from a CROSSTABS test of independence

Question & Answer


Question

I have used the SPSS CROSSTABS procedure to perform a chi-square test of the independence of two categorical variables. The significance level for the chi-square was less than .05, so I have rejected the null hypothesis of independence. The contingency table was larger than 2x2, so I would like to test subtables to see which rows differ in their column proportions and vice versa. I understand that one can partition the chi-square for the whole table into chi-squares for a set of subtables, where the subtables are 2x2 tables of selected rows and columns or combined rows and columns, from the complete table. Can this partitioning be performed with SPSS?
