Crosstables and Chi Square

ErikChatz — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 17:23:44 GMT

Hello! I'm trying to analyse two categorical variables using crosstables and I would like to perform a Chi Square test as well. Unfortunately, there's no chi square test there available for me. Could someone explain to me what I should do?

PROC FREQ does the chi square test, is that what is not working for you?

Edit: Are you using SAS Studio?

Is there a difference between SAS Studio and SAS Viya Visual Analytics? Because I'm using the latter.

Yes, SAS VA is closer to PowerBI or Tableau and I'm not sure the intention there is statistical analysis such as Chi Square. The intention is to visually present your data.

The analysis tool is SAS Studio.
