Les distributions multinomiales, leur mesure par les tests khi2 et G, leur approximation par la loi khi-carré et l'analyse des tableaux de fréquences par le test $G$ [PDF]

open access: yesTutorials in Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 2022
La variable multinomiale, une extension de la binomiale, s'exprime par un vecteur de fréquences associées à des catégories d'observations indépendantes, la probabilité d'une observation dans chaque catégorie étant à son tour représentée par un vecteur ...

Tests for Comparing Several Two-Parameter Exponential Distributions Based on Uncensored/Censored Samples

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2020
The problems of comparing several exponential distributions based on type II censored samples are considered. Likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) for comparing several location parameters, comparing several scale parameters and for homogeneity of distributions

On the Mistaken Use of the Chi-Square Test in Benford’s Law

open access: yesStats, 2021
Benford’s Law predicts that the first significant digit on the leftmost side of numbers in real-life data is distributed between all possible 1 to 9 digits approximately as in LOG(1 + 1/digit), so that low digits occur much more frequently than high ...

An accurate test for homogeneity of odds ratios based on Cochran's Q-statistic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: A frequently used statistic for testing homogeneity in a meta-analysis of K independent studies is Cochran's Q. For a standard test of homogeneity the Q statistic is referred to a chi-square distribution with K - 1 degrees of freedom. For the

Chi-square test and its application in hypothesis testing

open access: yesJournal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2015
In medical research, there are studies which often collect data on categorical variables that can be summarized as a series of counts. These counts are commonly arranged in a tabular format known as a contingency table.

Comparison of FAHP and FANP Decision-Making Methods in Determining the Appropriate Locations for Constructing an Underground Dam for Water Harvesting [PDF]

open access: yesWater Harvesting Research, 2018
The recent droughts in Iran made a decline in groundwater table and the migration of villagers to cities was hindered supplying drinking water for the current population. Therefore it should be considered as an important issue.

Biostatistics series module 4: Comparing groups - categorical variables

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2016
Categorical variables are commonly represented as counts or frequencies. For analysis, such data are conveniently arranged in contingency tables. Conventionally, such tables are designated as r × c tables, with r denoting number of rows and c denoting ...

Monotonicity of chi-square test statistics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper establishes monotonicity of the chi-square test statistic. As the more efficient parameter estimator is plugged into the test statistic, the degrees of freedom of the resulting chi-square test statistic monotonically ...

Maximally selected chi-square statistics for at least ordinal scaled variables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The association between a binary variable Y and a variable X with an at least ordinal measurement scale might be examined by selecting a cutpoint in the range of X and then performing an association test for the obtained 2x2 contingency table using the ...
