Chi Square Analysis using for loop in R

I'm trying to do chi square analysis for all combinations of variables in the data and my code is:

Data <- esoph[ , 1:3]
OldStatistic <- NA
for(i in 1:(ncol(Data)-1)){
for(j in (i+1):ncol(Data)){
Statistic <- data.frame("Row"=colnames(Data)[i], "Column"=colnames(Data)[j],
                     "Chi.Square"=round(chisq.test(Data[ ,i], Data[ ,j])$statistic, 3),
                     "df"=chisq.test(Data[ ,i], Data[ ,j])$parameter,
                     "p.value"=round(chisq.test(Data[ ,i], Data[ ,j])$p.value, 3),
                      row.names=NULL)
temp <- rbind(OldStatistic, Statistic)
OldStatistic <- Statistic
Statistic <- temp
}
}

str(Data)
'data.frame':   88 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ agegp: Ord.factor w/ 6 levels "25-34"<"35-44"<..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
 $ alcgp: Ord.factor w/ 4 levels "0-39g/day"<"40-79"<..: 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 ...
 $ tobgp: Ord.factor w/ 4 levels "0-9g/day"<"10-19"<..: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 ...


Statistic
    Row Column Chi.Square df p.value
1 agegp  tobgp      2.400 15       1
2 alcgp  tobgp      0.619  9       1

My code gives my the chi square analysis output for variable 1 vs variable 3, and variable 2 vs variable 3 and is missing for variable 1 vs variable 2. I tried hard but could not fixed the code. Any comment and suggestion will be highly appreciated. I'd like like to do cross tabulation for all possible combinations. Thanks in advance.

EDIT

I used to do this kind of analysis in SPSS but now I want to switch to R.


A sample of your data would be appreciated, but I think this will work for you. First, create a combination of all columns with combn. Then write a function to use with an apply function to iterate through the combos. I like to use plyr since it is easy to specify what you want for a data structure on the back end. Also note you only need to compute the chi square test once for each combination of columns, which should speed things up quite a bit as well.

library(plyr)

combos <- combn(ncol(Dat),2)

adply(combos, 2, function(x) {
  test <- chisq.test(Dat[, x[1]], Dat[, x[2]])

  out <- data.frame("Row" = colnames(Dat)[x[1]]
                    , "Column" = colnames(Dat[x[2]])
                    , "Chi.Square" = round(test$statistic,3)
                    ,  "df"= test$parameter
                    ,  "p.value" = round(test$p.value, 3)
                    )
  return(out)

})
