For my research I have three diagnostic groups (let's say Dx, Dy and Dz).
To analyse the difference of male:female proportions between the diagnostic groups I used a chi-squared test. This gave me one p value to observe that there was a significant difference.
I then want to look for pairwise comparisons between the groups. e.g. the proportion of male:female in Dx vs Dy, Dx vs Dz and Dy vs Dz. I'm unsure of how to do this.
I do not understand the question here. Can you explain the design a bit more? It is not clear if you used a Chi-Squared test and are asking about post hoc comparisons or are asking about using a Chi-square for post hoc comparisons.
hello, sorry. I wrote this in a rush and when i read it back it wasn't very clear.... I've updated the original question. Hope this version is more clear.
A handy way to supply sample data is to use the dput() function. See ?dput. If you have a very large data set then something like head(dput(myfile), 100) will likely supply enough data for us to work with.
