The Pearson's chi-squared test statistic is defined as . The p-value of the test statistic is computed either numerically or by looking it up in a table. If the p-value is small enough (usually p < 0.05 by convention), then the null hypothesis is rejected, and we conclude that the observed data does not follow the multinomial distribution.
Chi-squared distribution, showing χ2 on the x -axis and p -value (right tail probability) on the y -axis. A chi-squared test (also chi-square or χ2 test) is a statistical hypothesis test used in the analysis of contingency tables when the sample sizes are large. In simpler terms, this test is primarily used to examine whether two categorical ...
The distribution was independently rediscovered by the English mathematician Karl Pearson in the context of goodness of fit, for which he developed his Pearson's chi-squared test, published in 1900, with computed table of values published in (Elderton 1902), collected in (Pearson 1914, pp. xxxi–xxxiii, 26–28, Table XII).
The following is Yates's corrected version of Pearson's chi-squared statistics: = = (| |) where: O i = an observed frequency E i = an expected (theoretical) frequency, asserted by the null hypothesis N = number of distinct events
Pearson's chi-square test uses a measure of goodness of fit which is the sum of differences between observed and expected outcome frequencies (that is, counts of observations), each squared and divided by the expectation: where: Oi = an observed count for bin i. Ei = an expected count for bin i, asserted by the null hypothesis.
Reduced chi-squared statistic. In statistics, the reduced chi-square statistic is used extensively in goodness of fit testing. It is also known as mean squared weighted deviation ( MSWD) in isotopic dating [1] and variance of unit weight in the context of weighted least squares. [2] [3]
The p-value for the significance of V is the same one that is calculated using the Pearson's chi-squared test. [citation needed] The formula for the variance of V=φ c is known. In R, the function cramerV() from the package rcompanion calculates V using the chisq.test function from the stats package.
The p-value was first formally introduced by Karl Pearson, in his Pearson's chi-squared test, using the chi-squared distribution and notated as capital P. The p-values for the chi-squared distribution (for various values of χ 2 and degrees of freedom), now notated as P, were calculated in (Elderton 1902), collected in (Pearson 1914, pp. xxxi ...
