A chi-square test (also chi squared test or χ test) is any statistical hypothesis test in which the sampling distribution of the test statistic is a chi-square distribution when the null hypothesis is true, or any in which this is asymptotically true, meaning that the sampling distribution (if the null hypothesis is true) can be made to approximate a chi-square distribution as closely as desired by making the sample size large enough. The Chi-Square (
) test is the most popular non-parametric test/methods, to test the hypothesis. The symbol is the Greek letter “chi”. Like other hypothesis testing procedures, the calculated value of
-test statistics is compared with its critical value to know whether the null hypothesis is true.
Generally the chi-squared statistic summarizes the discrepancies between the expected number of times each outcome occurs (assuming that the model is true) and the observed number of times each outcome occurs, by summing the squares of the discrepancies, normalized by the expected numbers, over all the categories.
Data used in a chi-square analysis has to satisfy the
