I have multiple (n=15) categorical variables (in quartiles) that I think
represent different aspects of the same construct. I am interested in
putting together a differential classification table to explore whether
these variables actually classify people into different groups.
I don't have any theoretical reason with which to select a smaller
subset of measures and I don't yet want to do a principal components
analysis. I've also already looked at correlations between these
variables. Basically, I'm looking for some way that I can perform an
"ocular test"--to see for myself how people are classified into these
groups.
I have two questions:
1. Is there a simple program or code I can use to make such a table or
otherwise display this data? (I tried bigtab but it only allows for
inclusion of 3 variables.)
2. Or, alternatively, is there another method which which to explore the
possibility of differnetial classification?
