Macro: relationcont
Description: Computes the contingency coefficient for discrete data.

Usage: rel = relationcont (x {, colname {, opt}})
Input:
x n x p variables
colname p x 1 text vector of names of x variables
opt q x 1 text vector of optional parameters
Output:
rel.r p x p matrix of contingency coefficients
rel.pval p x p significance level of chi^2 statistics

Note:

Example:
; loads the library stats
library("stats")   
; read swiss banknote data
; actually these data are continuous, but the first
; three variables have approx. 20 realizations
x = read ("bank2")
; compute the contingency coefficients and the pvalues 
; of the chi^2 statistic automatically
colname = string ("X%0.f", 1:cols(x))
relationcont (x, colname, "automatic")
Result:
