Definitions for "Contingency Table"
A contingency table is a way of summarising the relationship between variables, each of which can take only a small number of values. It is a table of frequencies classified according to the values of the variables in question. When a population is classified according to two variables it is said to have been 'cross-classified' or subjected to a two-way classification. Higher classifications are also possible. ********************* A contingency table is used to summarise categorical data. It may be enhanced by including the percentages that fall into each category. What you find in the rows of a contingency table is contingent upon (dependent upon) what you find in the columns.
