Pielou's First Type of NN Symmetry Test with Chi-square Approximation for multiple classes (for Sparse Sampling)

Description

Two functions: Xsq.nnsym.ss.ct and Xsq.nnsym.ss.

Both functions are objects of class "Chisqtest" but with different arguments (see the parameter list below). Each one performs the hypothesis test of equality of the expected value of the off-diagonal cell counts (i.e., entries) under RL or CSR in the NNCT for k ≥ 2 classes. That is, each performs Pielou's first type of NN symmetry test which is also equivalent to McNemar's test on the NNCT. The test is appropriate (i.e. have the appropriate asymptotic sampling distribution) provided that data is obtained by sparse sampling. (See \insertCiteceyhan:SWJ-spat-sym2014;textualnnspat for more detail).

Each symmetry test is based on the chi-squared approximation of the corresponding quadratic form and are due to \insertCitepielou:1961;textualnnspat.

The argument cont.corr is a logical argument (default=TRUE) for continuity correction to this test. If TRUE the continuity correction to McNemar's test is implemented, and if FALSE such a correction is not implemented.

Each function yields the test statistic, p-value and df which is k(k-1)/2, description of the alternative with the corresponding null values (i.e. expected values) of differences of the off-diagonal entries,(which is 0 for this function) and also the sample estimates (i.e. observed values) of absolute differences of th off-diagonal entries of NNCT (in the upper-triangular form). The functions also provide names of the test statistics, the method and the data set used.

The null hypothesis is that E(N_{ij})=E(N_{ji}) for all entries for i \ne j (i.e., symmetry in the mixed NN structure). In the output, the test statistic, p-value and df are valid only for (properly) sparsely sampled data.

Usage

Xsq.nnsym.ss.ct(ct, cont.corr = TRUE)

Xsq.nnsym.ss(dat, lab, cont.corr = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

ct	A nearest neighbor contingency table, used in Xsq.nnsym.ss.ct only
cont.corr	A logical argument (default=TRUE). If TRUE the continuity correction to McNemar's test is implemented, and if FALSE such a correction is not implemented.
dat	The data set in one or higher dimensions, each row corresponds to a data point, used in Xsq.nnsym.ss only
lab	The vector of class labels (numerical or categorical), used in Xsq.nnsym.ss only
...	are for further arguments, such as method and p, passed to the dist function. used in Xsq.nnsym.ss only

Value

A list with the elements

statistic	The chi-squared test statistic for Pielou's first type of NN symmetry test
stat.names	Name of the test statistic
p.value	The p-value for the hypothesis test
df	Degrees of freedom for the chi-squared test, which is k(k-1)/2 for this function.
estimate	Estimates, i.e., absolute differences of the off-diagonal entries of NNCT (in the upper-triangular form).
est.name,est.name2	Names of the estimates, former is a shorter description of the estimates than the latter.
null.value	Hypothesized null values for the differences between the expected values of the off-diagonal entries, which is 0 for this function.
method	Description of the hypothesis test
ct.name	Name of the contingency table, ct, returned by Xsq.nnsym.ss.ct only
data.name	Name of the data set, dat, returned by Xsq.nnsym.ss only
