The principle of minimum discrimination information estimation is described and used to generate estimates for tests of hypotheses concerning various interactions and effects in the analysis of ...

Three methods of fitting log-linear models to multivariate contingency-table data with one dichotomous variable are discussed. Logit analysis is commonly used when a full contingency table of s ...

Different approaches exist for compensating for probabilistic linkage error when analysing a two-way contingency table for categorical data, where one variable is ...

What is Fisher's exact test? Fisher’s exact test is a statistical hypothesis test used to assess the association between two binary variables in a contingency table and is particularly useful when ...

PROC FREQ computes Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel statistics, controlling for Gender. For stratified 2×2 contingency tables, these statistics include estimates of the common relative risk and the Breslow-Day ...

Empirical likelihood methods have emerged as a robust, non‐parametric framework for statistical inference that skilfully bypasses the need for strong parametric assumptions. By constructing likelihood ...

What is the chi-squared test? The chi-squared test, often written as χ 2 test, is a statistical hypothesis test used in the analysis of categorical variables to determine whether observed data are ...
