Categorical Correspondence

This summary shows the number of occurrences in the data set, and the frequency of occurrences as a percentage, of each unique combination of values for two selected categorical variables.

The dialog for displaying the correspondence between two categorical variables

The categorical correspondence dialog prompts for:

  • Two different categorical variables,

  • Whether to use all data in the data table or just the subset that has been selected (e.g., by clicking on the table or map).

The dialog then displays a table showing all unique combinations of those variables and the number and percentage of data rows associated with each combination.

Missing values are included.

The table is immediately updated if any changes are made to the user’s selections on this dialog or, if only selected data are being used, changes are made to the selected data.

The table of statistics can be exported to a file using the keystroke Ctrl-S.
