Constructing a New Statistic NT for Testing Complete Independence in Contingency Tables
摘要
In this Chapter, with regard to test of complete independence in multi-way contingency tables, we found that only Pearson’s \(X^2\) statistic satisfies the conditions given in this Chapter among the power divergence family of statistics as well as among the family of statistics proposed by Rukhin. This chapter presents a new test statistic that also satisfies the conditions. Furthermore, we numerically investigate whether the distribution of this new test statistic is close to the chi-square limiting distribution, and we show that the new statistic performs well.
