Usage. Pearson's chi-squared test is used to assess three types of comparison: goodness of fit, homogeneity, and independence . A test of goodness of fit establishes whether an observed frequency distribution differs from a theoretical distribution. A test of homogeneity compares the distribution of counts for two or more groups using the same ...
A statistical hypothesis test typically involves a calculation of a test statistic. Then a decision is made, either by comparing the test statistic to a critical value or equivalently by evaluating a p -value computed from the test statistic. Roughly 100 specialized statistical tests have been defined. [ 1 ][ 2 ]
Probability theory. In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form of its probability density function is The parameter is the mean or expectation of the distribution (and also its median and mode ), while ...
The scaled sum of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with finite positive variance converges in distribution to the normal distribution. In probability theory, the central limit theorem ( CLT) states that, under appropriate conditions, the distribution of a normalized version of the sample mean converges to a standard normal distribution.
Median. Finding the median in sets of data with an odd and even number of values. The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value.
In probability theory, a log-normal (or lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. Thus, if the random variable X is log-normally distributed, then Y = ln (X) has a normal distribution. [ 2][ 3] Equivalently, if Y has a normal distribution, then the exponential ...
The Beta function (in the denominator of the beta distribution) approaches infinity, for both parameters approaching zero, α, β → 0. Therefore, p−1 (1− p) −1 divided by the Beta function approaches a 2-point Bernoulli distribution with equal probability 1/2 at each end, at 0 and 1, and nothing in between, as α, β → 0.
Variation varies between 0 and 1. Variation is 0 if and only if all cases belong to a single category. Variation is 1 if and only if cases are evenly divided across all categories. [ 1] In particular, the value of these standardized indices does not depend on the number of categories or number of samples.
