Cross-Tabulation Analysis

Kategorik · Betimsel

Cross-Tabulation Analysis is one of the statistical analyses applied automatically in MerQur. This page illustrates — on a Agriculture, Forestry & Aquatic sample dataset — how the analysis is run, what the MerQur output looks like, and how the result is reported in APA 7 format.

🎯 What is it for?

Cross-Tabulation Analysis, ilgili veri türü için gerekli tüm varsayım kontrollerini (normallik, varyans homojenliği, vb.) arka planda otomatik uygular ve sonuçları açık bir tablo + grafik ile sunar. APA 7 standardında otomatik yorumlama, Cohen’s d/η²/R² gibi etki büyüklükleri ve %95 güven aralıkları raporlanır.

📌 When is it used?

Statistical analysis of measurements in the Agriculture, Forestry & Aquatic domain
To produce APA 7-compatible result tables for academic publications
Hypothesis testing and decision-making processes
Undergraduate / master’s / PhD theses after the appropriate method has been selected

📐 Assumptions

Appropriate scale — Variables must be at the measurement level required by the analysis (nominal/ordinal/interval/ratio)
Independent observations — Observations must come from individuals independent of one another
Sufficient sample size — The minimum n requirement for the analysis must be met
Outlier check — Outliers must be detected and evaluated

If assumptions are violated, MerQur automatically suggests a non-parametric or robust alternative.

🛠 How to do it in MerQur

🎬 File Used in the Video

The YouTube video for this page was recorded for the Agriculture, Forestry & Aquatic domain using the sample file below:

MerQur Output (Illustrative)

ÇAPRAZ TABLO (yas × cevap) ───────────────────────────────────────────── Kategori A Kategori B Toplam Düzey 1 42 (%65) 23 (%35) 65 Düzey 2 18 (%32) 37 (%68) 55 Toplam 60 60 120 Ki-Kare Testi: χ²(1) = 14.71, p < .001 Cramer’s V = 0.350 (orta-güçlü ilişki)

MerQur Narrative Interpretation

yas ile cevap arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (χ² = 14.71, p < .001). Cramer’s V = .35 değeri orta-güçlü düzeyde bir ilişkiye işaret etmektedir.

APA 7 Interpretation (Academic Format · Illustrative)

Ki-Kare bağımsızlık testi, yas ve cevap değişkenleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir, χ²(1, N = 120) = 14.71, p < .001, Cramer’s V = .35. Bu sonuç, iki değişkenin birbirinden bağımsız olmadığını ve orta-güçlü düzeyde ilişkili olduğunu desteklemektedir.

⚠ Common Mistakes

Misidentifying the data type (e.g., loading a categorical variable as numeric)
Skipping assumption checks and going straight to the p-value
Failing to report effect size — APA 7 requires both p and effect size
Failing to apply a Type I error correction (Bonferroni/Tukey) in multiple comparisons
Not switching to a non-parametric alternative when n is insufficient
