Why are Chi square tests performed?
Definition

(if one group shares 2 outcomes) which test would you do?
Definition
Mcnemar's test
Term
If expected counts are less than 5 or if the sample is not large enough which test would you so?
Definition
Fisher's exact test
Term
How would you calculate expected outcome for chi square?
Definition
E= (row sums)*(column sums)/ (total)
Term
how would you calculate deviation?
Definition

O= observed count

deviation= (O-E)

Term
How would you calculate chi square?
Definition
sum of [(O-E)^2]/E
Term
How would you calculate degree of freedom for chi square?
Definition
(number of rows-1)*(number of columns-1)
Term
How would you calculate Odds Ratio?
Definition
(A/B)/(C/D)= AD/BC
Term
What does the confidence interval measure?
What does a narrow vs wide interval imply?
Definition
1) degree of uncertainty
2) narrow = high precision
wide= low precision
Term
How do you calculate 95% confidence interval
Definition
95% CI of OR = exp[Ln(OR) ± 1.96 × sq root (1/a + 1/b + 1/c + 1/d)
