Social Statistics: Chi-square
What is chi-square CHIDIST Non-parameteric statistics
This week
2
A main branch of statistics Assuming data with a type of probability
distribution (e.g. normal distribution) Making inferences about the parameters of the
distribution (e.g. sample size, factors in the test)
Assumption: the sample is large enough to represent the population (e.g. sample size around 30).
They are not distribution-free (they require a probability distribution)
Parametric statistics
3
Nonparametric statistics (distribution-free statistics)
Do not rely on assumptions that the data are drawn from a given probability distribution (data model is not specified).
It was widely used for studying populations that take on a ranked order (e.g. movie reviews from one to four stars, opinions about hotel ranking). Fits for ordinal data.
It makes less assumption. Therefore it can be applied in situations where less is known about the application.
It might require to draw conclusion on a larger sample size with the same degree of confidence comparing with parametric statistics.
Nonparametric statistics
4
Nonparametric statistics (distribution-free statistics) Data with frequencies or percentage
Number of kids in difference grades The percentage of people receiving social
security

One-sample chi-square includes only one dimension Whether the number of respondents is equally
distributed across all levels of education. Whether the voting for the school voucher has
a pattern of preference.
Two-sample chi-square includes two dimensions Whether preference for the school voucher is
independent of political party affiliation and gender
One-sample/Two-sample chi-square

Step1: a statement of null and research hypothesis
Chi-square steps

There is no difference in the frequency or proportion in each category
There is difference in the frequency or proportion in each category

Step2: setting the level of risk (or the level of significance or Type I error) associated with the null hypothesis 0.05

Step5: determination of the value needed for rejection of the null hypothesis using the appropriate table of critical values for the particular statistic Distribution of Chi-Square df = r-1 (r= number of categories) If the obtained value > the critical value
reject the null hypothesis If the obtained value < the critical value
accept the null hypothesis

interpret?

We’ll settle the age-old debate of whether people can actually detect their favorite cola based solely on taste. For 30 coke-lovers, I blindfold them, and have them sample 3 colas…is there a true difference, or are these preference differences explainable by chance?
Another example

Null: There are no preferences: The population is divided evenly among the brands
Alternate: There are preferences: The population is not divided evenly among the brands
Hypothesis

df = C -1 = 3 -1 = 2, set α = .05 For df = 2, X2-crit = 5.99
