How to check categorical to categorical correlations in data

Hi,

I have data like this and I would like to correlation between fail column to other categorical columns.

What is stat test in jmp and how can we apply that? 
Any suggestions?

 

 

AnalyticsData TableOtherRe: How to check categorical to categorical correlations in dataUse the Fit Y by X platform. Place the Fail in as the X Factor and the other columns of interest in as the Response variables. It will provide you with an R Square and a Chi Square test of significanceRe: How to check categorical to categorical correlations in data

I want to add a few comments to @txnelson's guidance. First, I don't know your statistics background, so I assume that it is minimal. You will get a lot out of the explanation and examples for the Contingency platform.

 

I also recommend that you use the Multiple Correspondence Analysis platform. It is specifically designed for categorical data across many levels and variables. Its primary strength is a bi-plot to aid interpretation. The chi square statistics can be used to decide the statistical significance of the association. The odds ratio can be used to assess the strength of the association. But neither of these statistics tell you about the nature of the association. MCA will do that for you.

Hi Mark,@markbailey

 

Thanks for links. Yes my stat is limited but I have ambition to learn it;) I tried one of the example and it gave very complex result that I can understand for me to digest.

 

When I looked to https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/15.2/#page/jmp/multiple-correspondence-analysis.shtml#

 

I don't understand the how chi squared number is good or bad based on the number.

What is the threshold to determine to here?
