11 CramerV

Cramer's V correlation coefficient measures the strength of the relationship between two nominal variables, with values ranging from 0 (no relationship) to 1 (strong relationship). The document explains how to calculate Cramer's V using the chi-square statistic and provides an example involving the relationship between gender and interruption types. The example concludes that there is no significant relationship based on the test results.

CRAMER’S V

CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
= WEEK 11 =
THE CONCEPT OF CORRELATION IN STATISTICS
• often considered as a synonym of
relationship or association
• Examples: a) the Pearson’s product-
moment correlation, b) the Spearman’s
rank-order correlation, c) the Cramer’s
V correlation
• The selection of the correlation
depends on the fulfillment of the
assumptions. The assumptions include
the data’s level of measurement
(nominal/ordinal/quantitative).

CRAMER’S V CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
• It measures the strength of the relationship between two variables at the nominal level of measurement.
• Value range : 0  V  1 [V → 0 indicates decreasing strength of relationship, V → 1 indicates increasing
strength of relationship]
• Research example: Disruptive and cooperative interruptions in prime-time television fiction: The role of
gender, status, and topic (Zhao& Gantz (2003)). The article can be downloaded at the following link:

• The test statistic: 𝑋 2 with the degree of freedom  = (r-1)(c-1)
• The significance test can be conducted by the critical region or the p-value approach.
EXAMPLE
[FROM ZHAO&GANTZ (2003), SIMPLIFIED]
• A researcher hypothesizes that there is a relationship between the gender of the interrupter and
the type of interruption.
• H0: V = 0 [There is no relationship between the gender of the interrupter and the type of
interruption.]
• H1: V  0 [There is a relationship between the gender of the interrupter and the type of
interruption.]
• Select  = 0.05

𝑂𝑖𝑗 −𝐸𝑖𝑗
• Test statistic: 𝑋 2 = σ𝑐𝑗=1 σ𝑟𝑖=1 with  = (r-1)(c-1) degree of freedom.
𝐸𝑖𝑗
• Rejection criterion: Reject H0 if the computed 2 > 3.841.
• Sampling result: X2 = 1.007 < 3.841
• Do not reject H0. (The test is not significant!!!!)
• Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the gender of the interrupter and the
type of interruption.
