Tests in contingency tables as regression tests
Applied researchers often use tests based on contingency tables in preliminary data analysis and diagnostic testing. We show that many of such tests may be alternatively implemented by testing for coefficient restrictions in linear regression systems (as a rule, employing the Wald test). This unifies the theories of regression analysis and contingency tables, sheds more light on intuitive conte...
متن کاملIntrinsic Tests of Independence in Contingency Tables
For Bayesian testing of independence in contingency tables, the priors play an important role regardless of the sample size. The simplest default prior, the uniform prior on the simplex, may sometimes not give sensible answers. However, we show that intrinsic priors derived from the uniform greatly improve the performance of Bayesian tests. The intrinsic priors give more mass to alternative par...
متن کاملBootstrap tests for independence in two-way ordinal contingency tables
For the analysis of an r by c contingency table having ordered row categories and ordered column categories, a bootstrap method is applied for the model-based likelihood ratio test for independence. A model-based likelihood ratio chi-square statistic and the statistic of the maximum eigenvalue of a Wishart matrix are also discussed. A simulation study is performed to compare the proposed method...
متن کاملNonparametric tests for conditional independence in two-way contingency tables
Consider a two-way contingency table, built on two categorical variables R and S. A fundamental question in this context is whether R and S are independent or not. This over-studied testing problem mostly relies on the chi-square or the likelihood ratio test statistics. The principal drawback of the classical way of doing is that probabilities for an individual to fall in a cell of the table ar...
متن کاملExact tests for two-way contingency tables with structural zeros
Fisher’s exact test, named for Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher, tests contingency tables for homogeneity of proportion. This paper discusses a generalization of Fisher’s exact test for the case where some of the table entries are constrained to be zero. The resulting test is useful for assessing cases where the null hypothesis of conditional multinomial distribution is suspected to be false. The test ...
