chisq.theo.bintest: Pearson's Chi-squared test for comparison of response probabilities to given values

Description

Performs a Pearson's Chi-squared test for comparing response probabilities (i.e. when the response variable is a binary variable) to given values. The function is in fact a wrapper to the chi-squared test for comparison of proportions to given values on a contingency table.

Usage

chisq.theo.bintest(formula, data, p)

Arguments

formula

a formula of the form a ~ b, where a and b give the data values and corresponding groups, respectively. a can be a numeric vector or a factor, with only two possible values (except NA).

data

an optional data frame containing the variables in the formula formula. By default the variables are taken from environment(formula).

p

theoretical probabilities.

Value

• method.test
  a character string giving the name of the test.
• data.name
  a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
• alternative
  a character string describing the alternative hypothesis, always two-sided.
• estimate
  the estimated probabilities.
• null.value
  the theoretical probabilities.
• statistic
  test statistics.
• parameter
  test degrees of freedom.
• p.value
  p-value of the test.

Details

If the response is a 0/1 variable, the probability of the '1' group is tested. In any other cases, the response is transformed into a factor and the probability of the second level is tested.
