Rcommander and simple chisquare

4 messages · Christian Jost, Philippe GROSJEAN, John Fox

In this years biostat teaching I will include Rcommander (it indeed 
simplifies syntax problems that makes students frequently miss the 
core statistical problems). But I could not find how to make a simple 
chisquare comparison between observed frequencies and expected 
frequencies (eg in genetics where you expect phenotypic frequencies 
corresponding to 3:1 in standard dominant/recessif alleles). Any idea 
where this feature might be hidden? Or could it be added to 
Rcommander?

Thanks, Christian.

ps: in case I am not making myself clear, can Rcommander be made to perform

Hello,

Just look at Statistics -> Contingency tables. There is an option for 
making the chi square test there.
Best,

Dear Christian,
distributions", and check the "Chisquare goodness of fit test" box in the
resulting dialog. This will bring up a dialog box where you can enter
hypothesized probabilities from which expected frequencies will be
calculated.

 John
