== Linear trend test on proportions ==

A more powerful form of chi-square specifically tests for a linear trend in proportions across groups. For example, proportion remembered correctly using a memory aid.

Example

||||||||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> ||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''Time 1''' ||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''Time 2'''||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''Time 3''' ||
||||||||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> Correct ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 3 ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 6 ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 10 ||
||||||||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> Incorrect ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 9 ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 6 ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 2 ||

Does the proportion correct change linearly over time?

The chi-square testing the presence of a linear trend is outputted by SPSS CROSSTABS as the Linear-by-Linear association term ( also called the Mantel-Haenszel statistic).

Linear-by-linear association = $$r^text{2} (N-1)$$

where r is the Pearson correlation of the rows (correct/incorrect) with the columns (group) and N is the total sample size.

The lack of fit is the difference between the Pearson chi-square value and the linear-by-linear one.

||||||||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''Model''' ||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''Chi-square''' ||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''Df'''||<25% style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> '''p-value''' ||
||||||||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> Linear ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 7.96 ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 1 ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> 0.005 ||

||||||||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> (Pearson Chi-square) ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> ||<25% style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> ||

So there is a linear trend providing a reasonable fit.


Denoting the time points by –1,0 and 1 and regressing these on the observed proportions correct give regression estimates of the above linear trend. The Pearson chi-square lack of fit term is (O-E)*(O-E)/E where O are observed table frequencies and E are expected frequencies using the expected proportions from the linear regression.
