    Chi Square Test

    The Chi Square Test is used to compare observed categorical data to expected values to determine if any differences are due to chance or some association between variables. It has assumptions around sample sizes, independence of observations, and expected frequencies. To conduct a Chi Square Test, you state a hypothesis, determine expected frequencies, calculate Chi Square values in a table, find degrees of freedom, compare the Chi Square statistic to values in a distribution table, and determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. The Mantel-Haenszel Chi Square Test specifically tests for a linear association between row and column variables.

    Chi Square Test

    Purpose
    To measure discontinuous categorical/binned data in which a
    number of subjects fall into categories
    We want to compare our observed data to what we expect to see.
    Due to chance? Due to association?
    When can we use the Chi-Square Test?
    Testing outcome of Mendelian Crosses, Testing Independence Is one
    factor associated with another?, Testing a population for expected
    proportions
    Assumptions:
    1 or more categories
    Independent observations
    A sample size of at least 10
    Random sampling
    All observations must be used
    For the test to be accurate, the expected frequency
    should be at least 5
    Conducting Chi-Square Analysis
    1) Make a hypothesis based on your basic biological
    question
    2) Determine the expected frequencies
    3) Create a table with observed frequencies, expected
    frequencies, and chi-square values using the formula:
    (O-E)2
    E
    4) Find the degrees of freedom: (c-1)(r-1)
    5) Find the chi-square statistic in the Chi-Square
    Distribution table
    6) If chi-square statistic > your calculated chi-square
    value, you do not reject your null hypothesis and vice
    versa.
    Mantel-Haenszel Chi-Square Test
    QMH = (n-1)r2

    r2 is the Pearson correlation coefficient


    (which also measures the linear association
    between row and column)
    Tests alternative hypothesis that there is a
    linear association between the row and
    column variable
    Follows a Chi-square distribution with 1
    degree of freedom
    Conclusion
    The Chi-square test is important in testing the association
    between variables and/or checking if ones expected proportions
    meet the reality of ones experiment

    There are multiple chi-square tests, each catered to a specific


    sample size, degrees of freedom, and number of categories
