Cross-tabulation
Cross-tabluation is about taking two variables and tabulating the results of one variable against the other variable. This can be done quite simply in data analysis tools such as Microsoft Excel or SPSS. A cross-tabulation gives you a basic picture of how two variables inter-relate, so for example you may have a question in your survey about employment, by running a cross tabulation of the survey data obtained for this question against that of age or gender for example (or both), would give you a table showing the employment status of both males and females, broken down by the age ranges you coded in your survey. This can provide quite powerful levels of information and is a useful way of testing the relationships between variables.
Statistical tests
For more complex statistical analysis there are a range of statistical tests that can be applied to your data. To select the right test, you need to ask yourself two questions:
1. What kind of data have you collected?
2. What variables are you looking to establish a relationship between?
Choosing the right test to compare measurements can be a tricky one, as you must choose between two families of tests: parametric and non parametric:
