This function computes the chi-square statistic and p-value for the hypothesis test of independence of the observed frequencies in the contingency table [1]_ `observed`. The expected frequencies are computed based on the marginal sums under the assumption of independence; see `scipy.stats.contingency.expected_freq`. The number of degrees of freedom is (expressed using numpy functions and attributes):: dof = observed.size - sum(observed.shape) + observed.ndim - 1 Parameters ---------- observed : array_like The contingency table. The table contains the observed frequencies (i.e. number of occurrences) in each category. In the two-dimensional case, the table is often described as an "R x C table". correction : bool, optional If True, *and* the degrees of freedom is 1, apply Yates' correction for continuity. The effect of the correction is to adjust each observed value by 0.5 towards the corresponding expected value. lambda_ : float or str, optional. By default, the statistic computed in this test is Pearson's chi-squared statistic [2]_. `lambda_` allows a statistic from the Cressie-Read power divergence family [3]_ to be used instead. See `power_divergence` for details. Returns ------- chi2 : float The test statistic. p : float The p-value of the test dof : int Degrees of freedom expected : ndarray, same shape as `observed` The expected frequencies, based on the marginal sums of the table. See Also -------- contingency.expected_freq fisher_exact chisquare power_divergence Notes ----- An often quoted guideline for the validity of this calculation is that the test should be used only if the observed and expected frequencies in each cell are at least 5. This is a test for the independence of different categories of a population. The test is only meaningful when the dimension of `observed` is two or more. Applying the test to a one-dimensional table will always result in `expected` equal to `observed` and a chi-square statistic equal to 0. This function does not handle masked arrays, because the calculation does not make sense with missing values. Like stats.chisquare, this function computes a chi-square statistic; the convenience this function provides is to figure out the expected frequencies and degrees of freedom from the given contingency table. If these were already known, and if the Yates' correction was not required, one could use stats.chisquare. That is, if one calls:: chi2, p, dof, ex = chi2_contingency(obs, correction=False) then the following is true:: (chi2, p) == stats.chisquare(obs.ravel(), f_exp=ex.ravel(), ddof=obs.size - 1 - dof) The `lambda_` argument was added in version 0.13.0 of scipy.
