Description

Computes the Pearson chi-Squared test, the Likelihood Ratio chi-Squared test, the phi coefficient, the contingency coefficient and Cramer's V for possibly stratified contingency tables.

Usage

assocstats(x)

Value

In case of a 2-dimensional table, a list with components:

chisq_tests

a \(2 \times 3\) table with the chi-squared statistics.

phi

The absolute value of the phi coefficient (only defined for \(2 \times 2\) tables).

cont

The contingency coefficient.

cramer

Cramer's V.

In case of higher-dimensional tables, a list of the above mentioned structure, each list component representing one stratum defined by the combinations of all levels of the stratum dimensions.

Arguments

x
