The Chi-square statistic is a non-parametric (distribution free) tool designed to analyze group differences when the dependent variable is measured at a nominal level. Like all non-parametric statistics, the Chi-square is robust with respect to the distribution of the data. Specifically, it does not require equality of variances among the study groups or homoscedasticity in the data. It permits...
متن کاملChi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit

In this test, we compare observed values with theoretical or expected values. Observed values are those that the researcher obtains empirically through direct observation. The theoretical or expected values are developed on the basis of an established theory or a working hy...
متن کاملChi-Square Test: Analysis of Contingency Tables

The test serves both as a ”goodnessof-fit” test, where the data are categorized along one dimension, and as a test for the more common ”contingency table”, in which categorization is across two or more dimensions. Voinov and Nikulin, this volume, discuss the controversy ove...
متن کاملTHE CHI-SQUARE TEST Probability, Random Chance, and Genetics
Probability, Random Chance, and Genetics Why do we study random chance and probability during a unit on genetics? Genetics is the study of inheritance, but it is also a study of probability. Most eukaryotic organisms are diploid, meaning that each cell contains two copies of every chromosome, so there are two copies of each gene that controls a trait (alleles). In sexual reproduction, these two...
