Description:
A cross table, also known as a contingency table, is used to summarize the relationship
between two categorical variables in tabular format.
It shows the frequency or counts for combinations of categories, making it a useful tool for
understanding how variables interact.
Steps:
1. Import libraries like pandas.
2. Prepare a dataset with at least two categorical columns.
3. Use pd.crosstab() to create the cross table.
4. Customize the table by adding margins for totals or normalizing data for proportions.
5. Display the table to inspect the result.
Step-by-Step Process
Import Libraries: Import pandas for data manipulation with import pandas as pd.
Create or Load Data: Prepare a dataset with at least two categorical columns.
Create the Cross Table: Use pd.crosstab() to create the cross table between the two categorical variables.
Customize the Table: You can add margins for totals with the margins=True option, or normalize the table to show proportions.
Display the Table: Print the table to inspect the result.
