MHChisqTest | R Documentation |
The Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistic tests the alternative hypothesis that there is a linear association between the row variable and the column variable. Both variables must lie on an ordinal scale.
MHChisqTest(x, srow = 1:nrow(x), scol = 1:ncol(x))
x |
a frequency table or a matrix. |
srow |
scores for the row variable, defaults to 1:nrow. |
scol |
scores for the colummn variable, defaults to 1:ncol. |
The statistic is computed as Q_{MH} = (n-1) \cdot r^2
, where r^2
is the Pearson correlation between the row variable and the column variable. The Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistic use the scores specified by srow and scol.
Under the null hypothesis of no association, Q_{MH}
has an asymptotic chi-square distribution with one degree of freedom.
A list with class "htest"
containing the following
components:

p.value |
the p-value for the test. |
method |
a character string indicating the type of test performed. |
data.name |
a character string giving the name(s) of the data. |
