Dear Experts,
Good morning
I have two nominal variables, one contain 18 labels and the second with 15 labels, it is a population data not sample, my question is, what is the right statistical technique that can be use?

Do you really have 240 separate questions about
association, or was that simply a convenience of
data collection?

What is your question, and how big is your sample
size?

If these are unordered categories, with a single reply
per subject, you are left with (mainly) a contingency table.

If you want to *test* a few questions that are interesting,
you might want to start by recoding similar categories,
or creating 'miscellaneous' groupings out of tiny categories.
