Limitations of Chi-Square Test

StarStarStarStar

It requires a large enough sample size for accuracy, cannot be used for small expected frequencies, and is not suitable for ordinal or continuous data without categorization.

StarStarStarStar

Contingency Table

StarStarStarStar

A data table that displays frequencies for two categorical variables and is used in chi-square tests of independence.

StarStarStarStar

When to use Chi-Square Test for Independence

StarStarStarStar

It is used to determine whether there is a significant association between two categorical variables.

Reporting Chi-Square Test Results

StarStarStarStar

Results are reported with the chi-square statistic value, degrees of freedom, p-value, and possibly an effect size measure, alongside a conclusion regarding the null hypothesis.

StarStarStarStar

Chi-Square Test P-value

StarStarStarStar

The p-value assesses the evidence against the null hypothesis, with values less than the significance level indicating a rejection of the null hypothesis.

StarStarStarStar

Post-hoc Analyses in Chi-Square Tests

StarStarStarStar

Used to explore which specific categories or cells contribute to the significance in the chi-square test, in the case of a significant overall result.

StarStarStarStar

Assumptions of the Chi-Square Test

StarStarStarStar

Data must be randomly sampled, observations should be independent of each other, and expected frequencies should be at least 5.

StarStarStarStar

Definition of Chi-Square Test

StarStarStarStar

A statistical hypothesis test that measures how well observed data fits with the expected distribution of the data, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

StarStarStarStar

Formula for Chi-Square Statistic

StarStarStarStar

The formula is

χ2=(OiEi)2Ei\chi^2 = \sum{\frac{(O_i - E_i)^2}{E_i}}
where OiO_i is the observed frequency and EiE_i is the expected frequency.

StarStarStarStar

Expected Frequency Calculation

StarStarStarStar

Expected frequencies are calculated based on the null hypothesis and the distribution of the sample data.

StarStarStarStar

Null Hypothesis in Chi-Square Tests

StarStarStarStar

In chi-square tests, the null hypothesis asserts that there is no difference between the observed and expected frequencies, or no association between variables.

StarStarStarStar

Chi-Square Distribution

StarStarStarStar

The distribution of the chi-square statistic under the null hypothesis, which is dependent on degrees of freedom.

StarStarStarStar

When to use Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit

StarStarStarStar

It is used to determine whether sample data is consistent with a population with a specific distribution.

StarStarStarStar

Degrees of Freedom in Chi-Square Test

StarStarStarStar

Degrees of freedom for the Chi-Square test is the number of categories minus one for goodness of fit, or (rows - 1) * (columns - 1) for a test of independence.

StarStarStarStar

Effect Size in Chi-Square Tests

StarStarStarStar

Measures the strength of association or the practical significance of findings, not just the probability of results occurring by chance.
