Term
|
Definition
| The vertical dimension of a bivariate table. By convention, each column represents a score on the independent variable. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The cell frequencies that would be expected in a bivariate table if the variables were independent. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An additional use for chi square that tests the significance of the distribution of a single variable. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The null hypothesis in the chi square test. Two variables are independent if, for all cases, the classification of a case on one variable has no effect on the probability that the case will be classified in any particular category of the second variable. |
