Yate's Correction

The document discusses Yates's correction for continuity, a statistical method used when testing for independence in contingency tables, particularly in 2x2 tables. It includes the formula for Yates's correction, which adjusts observed frequencies to reduce error in small samples, and outlines the chi-square testing process. Additionally, it mentions the hypothesis of normal distribution and provides examples related to Pearson's chi-squared statistics.

distribution with example
Yates's correction for continuity
● Theory by Frank Yates (1902-1994) was one of the pioneers of
20th century Statistics
● In Statistics Yate's correction for continuity (or Yate's chi-square
test) is used in certain situations when testing for independence
in a contingency table.
● In some cases, Yates's correction may adjust too far, and so its
current use is limited.
Yate's correction for continuity
● Yate's chi-square test - used in certain situations when testing
for independence in a contingency table
FORMULA :

where:
O = Observed frequency
E= Expected frequency
The 0.5 is the Yates correction factor, which reduces error in small samples.
Chi square - a Goodness of Fit :

● Karl Pearson- used x2 distribution for devising a test

● To determine how well experimentally obtained results fit in the


results expected theoretically on some hypothesis.
CHI SQUARE TESTING
● Computation of x^2 Contingency table
Using Yates's correction
● When problem arising particularly in a 2x2 table with 1 degree
of freedom
● The procedure is to subtract 0.5 from the absolute value of the
difference between observed and expected frequency
● So each (fo) which is larger than it's (fe) is decreased by 0.5 and
each (fo) which is smaller than it's (fe) is increased by 0.5
Hypothesis of Normal distribution
● Expected results or frequencies are determined on the basis of
the Normal distribution curve
● Normal distribution of adjustment scores into five categories
EXAMPLE 1 :
Pearson's chi squared statistics
● The following is Yates's corrected version of Pearson's chi-sqared
statistics where:

● Oi = an observed frequency
● Ei = an expected (theoretical) frequency, asserted by the null
hypothesis
● N = number of distinct events
