Chi-Squared ( χ
2
) Statistics
The χ
2
statistic is a measure of the goodness of fit between data and an
assumed distribution.
* It is used to test whether a set of observed
frequencies differs from a set of expected frequencies sufficiently to
reject the hypothesis under which the expected frequencies were
obtained.
* The statistic can be assumed to be χ
2
distributed with n–1 degrees of freedom
if n or some of the E
i
values are large.
