Categorical Data Analysis Using The SAS® System, 2nd Edition

4.4. Relationships Between Sets of Tables

Suppose you transposed the rows and columns of Table 4.7. You would obtain the following:

Table 4.8. Adverse Effects for Pain Treatment

Diagnosis	Adverse Effects	Placebo	Dosage1	Dosage2	Dosage3	Dosage4
I	No	26	26	23	18	9
I	Yes	6	7	9	14	23
II	No	26	12	13	1	1
II	Yes	6	20	20	31	31

Furthermore, suppose you analyzed these tables as two 2 × r tables, making the response variable the row variable and the grouping variable the column variable.

proc freq order=data;
					weight count;
					tables diagnosis*response*treatment / cmh;
					tables diagnosis*treatment*response / cmh;
					run;
				

Look at the resulting table of Mantel-Haenszel statistics for DIAGNOSIS by RESPONSE by TREATMENT and compare it to the reprinted table of DIAGNOSIS by TREATMENT by RESPONSE.
