propTestN: Proportion Test (N Outcomes)

In jmv: The 'jamovi' Analyses

Proportion Test (N Outcomes)

Description

The X² Goodness of fit test (not to be confused with the X² test of independence), tests the Null hypothesis that the proportions of observations match some expected proportions. If the p-value is low, this suggests that the Null hypothesis is false, and that the true proportions are different to those tested.

Usage

propTestN(data, var, counts = NULL, expected = FALSE, ratio = NULL,
  formula)

Arguments

data	the data as a data frame
var	the variable of interest in data (not necessary when using a formula, see the examples)
counts	the counts in data
expected	TRUE or FALSE (default), whether expected counts should be displayed
ratio	a vector of numbers: the expected proportions
formula	(optional) the formula to use, see the examples

Value

A results object containing:

results$props					a table of the proportions
results$tests					a table of the test results

Tables can be converted to data frames with asDF or as.data.frame. For example:

results$props$asDF

as.data.frame(results$props)

Examples

data('HairEyeColor')
dat <- as.data.frame(HairEyeColor)

propTestN(formula = Freq ~ Eye, data = dat, ratio = c(1,1,1,1))
