The Pearson chi-square goodness-of-fit test and the likelihood ratio tests are usually used for testing independence in two-way contingency tables under random sampling. But both of these tests may provide false results for the contingency table with clustered observations. In this case we consider the generalized linear mixed model which includes random effects of clustering in addition to the fixed effects of covariates. Both the heterogeneity between clusters and the dependency within a cluster can be explained via generalized linear mixed model. In this paper we introduce several types of generalized linear mixed model for testing independence in contingency tables with clustered observations. We also discuss the fitting of these models through a real dataset.

In $I{\times}J$ incomplete contingency tables, the test of independence proposed by Chen and Fienberg(1974) uses $I{\times}J-1$ instead of (I-1)(J-1) degrees of freedom without providing much of an increase in the value of the test statistic. For these reasons, Chen and Fienberg tests are expected to have less power. New Wald test statistic related to the part of Chen and Fienberg test statistic is proposed using delta method. These two tests are compared through Monte Carlo studies.

Dependence concepts for ordered two-way contingency tables have been of considerable interest. We consider a dependence concept which is less restrictive than likelihood ratio dependence and more restrictive than regression dependence. Maximum likelihood estimation of cell probability under this dependence restriction is studied. The likelihood ratio statistics for and against this dependence are proposed and their large sample distributions are derived. A real data is analyzed to illustrate the estimation and testing procedures.

Asymptotic tests are often not suitable for the analysis of sparse ordered contingency tables as asymptotic p-values may either overestimate or underestimate the true pvalues. In this pater, we describe permutation procedures in which we compute exact or resampling p-values for a weighted specific-category agreement in ordered $k{\times}k$ contingency tables. We use the weighted specific-category kappa proposed by $Kv{\dot{a}}lseth$ to measure the extent to which two independent raters agree on the specific categories. We carried out comparison studies between exact p-values, resampling p-values and asymptotic p-values using $3{\times}3$ contingency data (real and artificial data sets) and $4{\times}4$ artificial contingency data.

Yates' continuity correction of the chi-squared test for testing the homogeneity of two binomial proportions in $2{\times}2$ contingency tables is developed to lower the value of the test statistic slightly. The effect of continuity correction is expected to decrease as the sample size increases. However, in extremely unbalanced $2{\times}2$ contingency tables, we find some cases where the effect of continuity correction is eccentric and is larger than expected. In such cases, we conclude that the chi-squared test with continuity correction should not be employed as a test statistic in both asymptotic tests and exact tests.

This study proposes a trimmed LAD(least absolute deviation) estimators for multi-dimensional contingency tables and suggests an algorithm to estimate it. In addition, a method to determine the trimming quantity of the estimators is suggested. A Monte Carlo study shows that the propose method yields a better trimming rate and coverage rate than the previously suggest method based on the determinant of the covariance matrix.

Chi-square test based on large sample theory is inappropriate for testing the row homogeneity in two-way contingency table with several sparse cells. For that case, exact testing methods has been developed in the literature and implemented in StatXact(1991). However, considerable computing time is inevitable for moderate size tables. So, Monte Carlo approximation is recommended frequently. In this study, we propose a simple algorithm for generating two-way random tables with fixed row and column margins for small sample chi-square test. Also, we develop “Turkey-type” method for multiple between-row comparisons.

We propose a modified mid P-value method to reduce the conservativeness for the inference of conditional associations in three-way contingency tables. This improves the ordinary mfd P-value method. For $2{\times} 2${\times} K$ tables, we propose confidence intervals for an assumed common odds ratio based on inverting two separate one-sided tests using the modified mid P-value. Also, an alternative and usually even better ways of constructing intervals, based on Inverting a two-sided test, are presented. The actual probability of coverage of a 100($1-\alpha$)% confidence interval is centered about the nominal level, but the modified mid P-value approach gives actual coverage probability even closer to the nominal level than the ordinary mid P-value approach.

The contour method which was originally designed for $2{\times}2{\times}2$ contingency table is studied for $2{\times}2{\times}K$ and $2{\times}3{\times}K$ tables. Whereas a contour plot for a $2{\times}2{\times}K$ table is represented on unit squared two dimensional plane, a contour plot of a $2{\times}3{\times}K$ table can be expressed with a regular hexahedron on three dimensional space. Based on contour plots for categorical data fitted to all possible three dimensional log-linear models, one might identify whether $2{\times}2{\times}k$ or $2{\times}3{\times}K$ tables are collapsible over the third variable.
