6 STATISTICAL DATA ANALYSIS BIVARIATE ANALYSIS: In this statistical analysis, the two variables are analyzed at a time in order to understand whether or not they are related. The hypotheses are tested applying this technique. MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS: Statistical procedures that simultaneously analyze multiple measurements (Three or more variables) on each individual or object under study. It is the further extension of univariate and bivariate statistical procedures previously stated.

Here in this example two category/nominal variables are analyzed simultaneously. Contingency Tables (A Bivariate Mode of Analysis)

Spearman’s Rho is just like Pearson’s R which is used for the data collected on Interval and Ratio Scales Variables whereas Rho is used for the Ordinal Scale Variables.

Phi and Cramer’s V: For dichotomous (phi) variables. Cramer’s V is for nominal variables but only in positive, indicates strength of relationship.
