Study Notes
Chi-Square Test of Independence
- Purpose: Analyze the association between two qualitative variables measured on the nominal or ordinal scale.
- Example: Determine if there's a relationship between students' study habits and whether they are caught up with assignments.
Hypotheses
- Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no association between the variables.
- Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): There is an association between the variables.
Contingency Table
- Observed Values: Frequencies of elements categorized by each variable combination.
- Expected Values: Hypothetical frequencies assuming no association. Calculated using the formula: eij = (row i total) (column j total) / n.
Chi-Square Statistic
- Calculation: Measures the difference between observed and expected frequencies: χ2 = ∑ (observed count - expected count)2 / expected count.
- Larger χ2: Stronger evidence of association.
- Interpretation: If the observed frequencies significantly deviate from the expected frequencies, we reject the null hypothesis.
Degrees of Freedom
- Calculation: (number of rows - 1) * (number of columns - 1)
- Use: Determine the critical value for the Chi-square distribution.
Decision Rule
- Reject H0: If the calculated χ2 is equal to or greater than the critical value.
- Fail to Reject H0: If the calculated χ2 is smaller than the critical value.
Assumptions
- Expected Frequencies: All expected frequencies should be at least 5.
- Sample Size: A large enough sample size is required to effectively use the Chi-square test.
Visualizations
- Block Diagram (Bar Chart): Displays the observed frequencies for each variable combination.
- Mosaic Chart: Represents the proportions of each category by the area of the chart.
- Row Percentages: Help visualize the proportions within each category of the explanatory variable.
Note
- Switching Variables: The explanatory and response variables can be switched to analyze different associations.
- Interpreting Row Percentages: Compare row percentages to understand the association, not absolute frequencies.
