Mood’s Median Test (for two samples)

Basic Concepts The Mood’s Median Test, essentially a two-sample version of the Sign Test, is used to determine whether the medians of two independent samples are equal (the null hypothesis). To perform this test, you need to execute the following steps: Calculate the median m of the combination of the two samples. Create a 2 × 2 … Read More

Power of Chi-square Tests

Basic Concepts The power of the goodness of fit or chi-square independence test is given by where F is the cumulative distribution function (cdf) for the noncentral chi-square distribution χ2(df), xcrit is the χ2(df) critical value for the given value of α and λ = w2n = χ2 is the noncentrality parameter where w is the φ effect … Read More

Announcing Release 1.4

Today, I have published release 1.4 of the Real Statistics Resource Pack. This release is backwards compatible with the previous releases, but also includes some new functions and bug fixes. The release is the one that is available on the Free Download page, and includes the following features: 1. Improved non-parametric functions: For the Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon Rank-Sum … Read More

Real Statistics Data Analysis Tools

Although all the statistical analyses described on this website can be done with standard Excel capabilities, it is often easier to use the supplemental functions and data analysis tools provided in the Real Statistics Resource Pack. The functions provided in the Real Statistics Resource Pack are summarized in Real Statistics Functions. Here we briefly review … Read More

Non-comprehensive models

Basic Concepts In the non-comprehensive models at least one of the variables is not used. We show how to calculate the expected frequencies for one such model, namely (A, B). The degrees of freedom are abc – (a – 1) – (b – 1) –1 = abc – a – b +  1. Example Figure … Read More

Homogeneous association model

Basic Concepts The homogeneous association model for (AB, BC, AC) consists of the saturated model with the λABC term dropped. It therefore has (a – 1)(b – 1)(c – 1) degrees of freedom. For Example 1 of Three-way Contingency Tables this is (2 – 1)(2 – 1)(3 – 1) = 2 degrees of freedom. For … Read More

Mutual independence model

Basic Concepts The model for (A, B, C) is ln y = λ + λA + λB + λC and has abc – [(a – 1) + (b – 1) + (c – 1) + 1] = abc – (a+b+c) + 2 degrees of freedom. For Example 1 of Three-way Contingency Tables the mutual independence … Read More

Partial independence model

Basic Concepts There are three partial independence models (A, BC), (B, AC) and (C, AB). We’ll look at the first of these; the others are similar. The model for (A, BC) consists of the saturated model with the λAB, λAC and λABC terms dropped. It therefore has (a – 1)(b – 1) + (a – 1)(c – … Read More
