CHITEST (a, b)
Where ‘a ‘is the observations to test against the expected values and ‘b’ is the ratio of the product of row totals and column totals to the grand total.
This function returns the test for independence.
Sometimes CHITEST returns the error value, when ‘a’ and ‘b’ have a different number of data points.
It is calculated using the formula:
Where:
Aij = actual frequency in the i-th row, j-th column
Eij = expected frequency in the i-th row, j-th column
r = number or rows and c = number of columns
χ2 is always positive or 0, and is 0 only if Aij = Eij for every i, j.
