You are like the coolest teacher ever! How can we repay your favors? Have you thought about a setting up a patreon page? Your videos are insanely good.
I’m a budding actuary and this was on one of my exams! It is so fulfilling to finally understand why we actually use this test and not just having to memorize a formula to pass an exam...
I am taking my doctoral comprehensive exams next month. I was resigned to failing STATS but your videos are truly giving me confidence. To say Thank you would be grossly understated.
the best explanation of this subject I've ever seen on the net. pretty outstanding. i appreciate that. you put an end on my vague understanding of chi-squared distribution.
Excellent! I've been searching the normal explanation for a long time and it's really comforting to finally understand why the goodness of fit test works.
Thanks much for this explanation. you real nailed it, specifically on obtaining observed and expected frequencies. Previously I used hours and hours without understanding. I am real happy to know this
Very nice demonstration and explanation. However, excel is not the only we to calculate the values for chi-squared. R does an excellent job and is free to boot.
Hey Justin, An awesome explanation about chi-square: I had read lots of articles and lectures about chi-square expecting to know why it can be used on goodness of fit tests, but no one gave explanation about why. You explained well using binomial distribution. Thank you, and will follow you on statistics topics.
"Learning to predict rare events from sequences of events with categorical features is an important, real-world, problem that existing statistical and machine learning methods are not well suited to solve." Gary M. Weiss* and Haym Hirsh Thank you for your video :)
Excellent video! My question, if you may, is why for the 2nd example the complementary deviations are not included in the Summation formula ? What I mean is for the 1st example the left hand + the right hand deviations were summed up, but for the 2nd example, you included only those who choose ROCKs + Only those who choose scissors and only those who choose paper, but not those who did not choose Rocks + those who did not choose scissors + those who did not choose paper. Why is that so?
Why Chi-Squared test is used for qualitative variables if the distribution is obtained from a Gaussian distribution (which is quantitative continuous data)?
So when dof=1 chi-squared goodness of fit test is same as testing for population proportion? Because when dof=1, chi-squared at alpha significance level is z squared at alpha significance level
Using the Binomial distribution, the answer you get to this question is that there's a 10.2% chance of getting this data from such a sampling. (assuming that the "true" percentage of left-handers in society is 12%.) Why does using the Binomial method give such a drastically different result than the Chi-squared test method?
The Central Limit Theorem applies even to binomial populations like this provided that the minimum of np and n(1-p) is at least 5, where "n" refers to the sample size, and "p" is the probability of "success" on any given trial. Probabilty of Success here is proportion of population left handed = 0.12
Excellent video. How does the sample size flow through from the Normal distribution into the Chi distribution? If your example had 110 left handed students out of 750 in the art class then we would reject the null hypothesis?
Could you pls pls pls help me with the solution of this qn... A frequency data is classified in 9 classes and Gamma distribution is fitted to it after estimating the Parameters. If a Chi square, goodness of fit test is to be used without combining the classes, the degrees of freedom associated with chi square test are: 9 8 7 6 Could you help me answer this!
what if you had 3 replicates for each variable (say i have variables a, b, c, d and 3 replicate values for each (eg variable a has values 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) can I do the chi squared test on the 4 variables? Do I have to find the mean of each variable then do the chi squared test? or is there a better test for that? Thanks!
Thanks for the video!!!! One quick question that's beyond me: Once we know that a binomial distribution with a large n is basically a normal distribution (this explanation may be clumsy) why WOULD we square is. In the video you are saying "What happens if we square it?" but what is the reason for squaring it ?? Thank you!!!
Really great stuff this. I'm working my way through your chi-squared vids. Now have I missed something here? If you give that question to a student who has not yet met chi-squared, surely it is solvable by using a binomial hypothesis test (H0: X~B(75,0.12) etc.) I guess my question is this: 'in the real world' which method do statisticians use for 2 category data and does it always reach the same conclusion? It would seem odd to opt for a test that uses an approximation (large n normal approx to binomial and/or approximation to chi-squared) when one can easily (using a computer or advanced calculator) carry out an EXACT binomial hypothesis test. I can see that for more than 2 categories, you would need a "multinomial hypothesis test" (if such a thing exists) and that sounds way more complicated than chi-squared in that case!
Still I am not able to intuitively understand as to why chi square distribution can be used for testing goodness of fit .. still can't wrap my head around
I performed a chi-square goodness of fit test on my Signal Detection Theory. In the residuals, I am seeing that the residuals of Hits and Misses are mirror images of each other (For example: 1 and -1) and similarly for the residuals of False Alarms and Correct Rejections, they are also mirror images of each other (For example: 5 and -5). I used counterbalancing while collecting data. Can you think of a reason as to why I am seeing these mirror images? Also, do you know of any references (papers, articles etc) that I can go through.
When you use the number pi do you mean p as in probability or the irrational number pi? I don't mean to nitpick, but this is confusing to read since pi is like a reserved word in mathematics. I've never seen the letter pi being used to refer to anything other than the constant pi, and seeing it here, I really have to think about what it is that you intend to express. I'm honestly confused about the formula at 21 minutes because (1-pi) is negative, and there is no real square root of a negative number. Help, please?
Believe it or not, in statistics we often use the greek letter pi to mean the "population proportion". I mention that this is what it represents at 18:25. Hope that helps :)
Hi, I have seen both of your videos on Chi-square goodness of fit and Test for independence and got confused as I found both solutions and conclusions to be similar except for p-value could you say in brief what is the main difference between both the Tests.
Hello there did you find the answer to your question cz I have the same concern and I still can't figure out how to differentiate between the two methods. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an answer.
Thank you so much, I finally understood how to do a goodness of fit test after struggling with it for more than a week. But I've got one question: if I'm applying it to a linear fit of a given set of physical measurements, so I have a one by one relationship between the expected values and the observed ones, can I do a chi square test? Because one of the applicability hypotheses for doing this kind of test is to exceed at least the frequency of five but for a linear fit what does it mean? Do i have to kind of group my data or I am not able to do this chi square test in the case of a linear fit? Thank you in advance, I am a second year physics student
You are the best stats tutor I have ever found in you tube... Love and good wishes from India.. ☺️
You solved the mystery of the relationship of chi-0squared and normal distribution for me
You certainly have one of the best channels on UA-cam, sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
You are like the coolest teacher ever! How can we repay your favors? Have you thought about a setting up a patreon page? Your videos are insanely good.
Yes he is cool
Yap he is good when explain
I think my university's Statistics dept should all be fired and all the fund there's left should be transfered to this guy's bank account

Absolutely phenomenal!
love how you all the sudden remind us about binomial and chi square, it makes all the things i learned converges to one
Excellent, specially the explanation on why we use the formula. Thank you!!!

UR VIDEOS R SO FREAKING AWESOME PLZ KEEP MAKING CONTENT LIKE THIS
Excellent! I've been searching the normal explanation for a long time and it's really comforting to finally understand why the goodness of fit test works.
Writing from Brazil, I would like to say that this is one of the best mathematical videos I have ever watched. Thank you and congratulations.
Thanks A LOT for explaining why the test statistic follows the chi-squared distribution. It's so much better than just learning the formulae¬
Awesome explanation! Especially about the hidden z-distribution. Thanks a ton!!
nicely explained. you answer all the questions that other videos don't address
Finally understood where the normal distribution fits into the test statistic. Thanks a lot
Thanks much for this explanation. you real nailed it, specifically on obtaining observed and expected frequencies.
Previously I used hours and hours without understanding. I am real happy to know this
Thank you for these great informative videos. Best explanation I found till now related to the Chi square distribution.
Absolute legend, love your work m8te, keep up the good work
Cheers from Belgium
Nice one. I was really searching for the explanation of the expression used in the test, which I got at the end of your video. Thank you so much.
Your video is so detailed along with our curiosities! My mind got clear through this easy and fun video.
You are a gifted teacher! Thanks!
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive guide to chi-squared. Yo u made it so easy to understand!
Tons of gratitude for this video. Easily one of my all-time favorites :)
This is brilliant Sir . YOU ARE A GEM really .
Concepts explanation make easier to understand the formula.
Anyway I have never been able to memorise a formula..
Thanks Zed.
This was just amazing. I got it in one go! Thanks a lot for doing this!
Such amazing explanation that just about to make me cry 😭
Excellent presentation and explnantion. Well done.
Thanks a lot. I wish I could depict how much you had helped me.
Very nice demonstration and explanation. However, excel is not the only we to calculate the values for chi-squared. R does an excellent job and is free to boot.
Perfect tutorial video! Thanks ❤
Since the idea comes from a binomial distribution, why do we use a Chi-squared test, instead of developing some tests based on binomial distribution?
Goodness of fit? More like "Great lectures that are lit!" 🔥
Thank you so much ❤️ I am in grad school and your videos are the life savers. My college professor can not explain everything as good as you do !!!!
great video

This is really informative, Thank you!
21:25 where Is the link?
Great video! Thank you!
super good explanation thanks
But why do we specifically use chi square to do this fit test ? Why not any other distribution such as exponential ? Why specifically chi square ?
8:55 why k=1 but we have 2 terms in the summation?
you are excelling on this sudject
Thanks for the knowledge
Why Chi-Squared test is used for qualitative variables if the distribution is obtained from a Gaussian distribution (which is quantitative continuous data)?
It's a good video you have really helped me
Tres bien explique.
So when dof=1 chi-squared goodness of fit test is same as testing for population proportion?
Because when dof=1, chi-squared at alpha significance level is z squared at alpha significance level
Using the Binomial distribution, the answer you get to this question is that there's a 10.2% chance of getting this data from such a sampling.
(assuming that the "true" percentage of left-handers in society is 12%.)
Why does using the Binomial method give such a drastically different result than the Chi-squared test method?
Nice video, it helps a lot
i love your voice!
Since this is a two-tailed problem, should the alpha be 2.5%?
Is that z similar as z distribution or z test formula?
nicely done.
How would you set Ho to be , shouldn't we be setting Ha to be 12% because that's what we want to prove ?
How do you get the level of significance at 5%? Is this standard?
Hi. Your videos are great. I have one question. Chi-squared is appropriate to be used to test the first digit law (Benford's law)?
Wouldn't you need to do a two tale test for this?
20:23 n*pi > 5; n(1-pi) > 5. Why is that?
The Central Limit Theorem applies even to binomial populations like this provided that the minimum of np and n(1-p) is at least 5, where "n" refers to the sample size, and "p" is the probability of "success" on any given trial. Probabilty of Success here is proportion of population left handed = 0.12

Hello Zed, could you please do a video on different hypotheses testing for contingency table models? Thanks!
Thx. Great Video!
Thank you soo much for lecture this topic kindly upload lecture about basian or base theorem
thank you so much
why dont we split the alpha by 2?

Is it not two tail ?
Can you use chi squared on outcomes of an intervention. For example if the results are positive or negative.
I performed a chi-square goodness of fit test on my Signal Detection Theory. In the residuals, I am seeing that the residuals of Hits and Misses are mirror images of each other (For example: 1 and -1) and similarly for the residuals of False Alarms and Correct Rejections, they are also mirror images of each other (For example: 5 and -5). I used counterbalancing while collecting data. Can you think of a reason as to why I am seeing these mirror images? Also, do you know of any references (papers, articles etc) that I can go through.

Zedstats, awesome course. However, right about 16:28 in the video you keep saying that the p value is the shaded area. It is actually not. p
Is there such thing as confidence intervals for our proportions, with Chi squared? Or is that only doable with parametric stats?

WHERE DO YOU GET THE EXPECTED VALUE IF NOT FROM AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY, I MEAN WTF
Thanks a lot
