Contingency Table01:29

Contingency Table

2.5K
A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...

Introduction to Test of Independence

2.2K
In statistics, the term independence means that one can directly obtain the probability of any event involving both variables by multiplying their individual probabilities. Tests of independence are chi-square tests involving the use of a contingency table of observed (data) values.
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:

McNemar's Test01:23

McNemar's Test

167
McNemar's Test is a nonparametric statistical test used to determine if there is a significant difference in proportions between two related groups when the outcome is binary (e.g., yes/no, success/failure). It is beneficial when we have paired data, such as pre-test/post-test designs, where the same subjects are measured under two different conditions. The test is named after the statistician Quinn McNemar, who introduced it in 1947. It is commonly used in situations where subjects are...

Determination of Expected Frequency01:08

Determination of Expected Frequency

2.1K
Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence01:16

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence

3.5K
The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:

One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes01:15

One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes

3.2K
One-Way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples with equal or unequal sample sizes. When one-way ANOVA is performed on two datasets with samples of equal sizes, it can be easily observed that the computed F statistic is highly sensitive to the sample mean.
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Contingency tables are widely used for analyzing categorical data.
  • Symmetry models are common for square tables with identical row and column classifications.
  • Existing models may not fully capture asymmetric structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new statistical model for square contingency tables.
  • To model asymmetry in data with nominal row and column classifications.
  • To extend existing symmetry models.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an extension-of-symmetry model.
  • Mathematical formulation based on conditional probabilities.
  • Application to nominal scale data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model quantifies asymmetry by examining differences in conditional probabilities.
  • Demonstrates that absolute differences between specific conditional probabilities are constant for i≠j.
  • Provides a framework for analyzing non-symmetric structures.

Conclusions:

  • The extension-of-symmetry model effectively captures asymmetry in square contingency tables.
  • The model is applicable to nominal data where symmetry is not assumed.
  • Offers a valuable tool for statistical analysis of asymmetric categorical data.
