# contingency
|
|
|
|
The `contingency` function calculates the [contingency coefficient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency_table#Cram%C3%A9r's_V_and_the_contingency_coefficient_C), a value that measures the association between two columns in a table. The computation is similar to [the `cramersV` function](./cramersv.md) but with a different denominator in the square root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
contingency(column1, column2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `column1` and `column2` are the columns to be compared
|
|
|
|
**Returned value**
|
|
|
|
- a value between 0 and 1. The larger the result, the closer the association of the two columns.
|
|
|
|
**Return type** is always [Float64](../../../sql-reference/data-types/float.md).
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
The two columns being compared below have a small association with each other. We have included the result of `cramersV` also (as a comparison):
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
SELECT
|
|
cramersV(a, b),
|
|
contingency(a ,b)
|
|
FROM
|
|
(
|
|
SELECT
|
|
number % 10 AS a,
|
|
number % 4 AS b
|
|
FROM
|
|
numbers(150)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Result:
|
|
|
|
```response
|
|
┌──────cramersV(a, b)─┬───contingency(a, b)─┐
|
|
