This study introduces a new Pearson statistic for analyzing "pick any/c" survey data, addressing issues with traditional tests. Bootstrap methods offer a reliable way to test independence in multiple-response categorical variables.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Survey Methodology
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Many surveys use "choose all that apply" questions, resulting in multiple-response categorical variables.
  • Traditional independence tests like Pearson's chi-square are unsuitable for these variables due to within-subject response dependence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a modified Pearson statistic for testing independence between two multiple-response categorical variables.
  • To develop reliable methods for approximating the sampling distribution of this new statistic.

Main Methods:

  • A novel Pearson-type statistic is constructed for "pick any/c" data.
  • Bootstrap procedures are employed to approximate the sampling distribution of the proposed statistic.
  • First- and second-order adjustments are applied for chi-square distribution approximation, and a Bonferroni adjustment is proposed for situations lacking joint response data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed bootstrap procedures demonstrate more consistent control of statistical test size compared to other methods.
  • The modified statistic and bootstrap approach provide a viable alternative for independence testing in complex survey data.

Conclusions:

  • The developed bootstrap-based Pearson statistic is effective for testing independence in multiple-response categorical variables.
  • This method offers a statistically sound approach for analyzing "pick any/c" survey data, overcoming limitations of traditional tests.
