Frequency Gadget
The Frequency gadget counts each occurrence in a category for a specified variable and gives the absolute and relative frequencies for each category. This option then produces a frequency table that shows how many records have a value for each variable, the percentage of the total, a cumulative percentage and upper and lower confidence intervals.

2×2 Gadget
In epidemiology, 2 x 2 tables are frequently used to examine the relationship between two or more categorical values. In these tables, usually an “exposure” variable is considered the risk factor. The outcome variable is considered the disease of consequence. (e.g. the person had the disease or outcome of interest or they did not). Values of the first variable will appear on the left margin of the table, and those of the second will be across the top of the table. Normally, cells contain counts of records matching the values in corresponding marginal labels.
