摘要: Abstract In a contingency table with fixed marginal totals, and row totals or column equal to each other, the Yates correction Kendall-Stuart for continuity improve estimates of unknown probabilities. Otherwise only may be relied on over chi-square approximation uncorrected statistic. If some are random, corrected statistic provides test different than which uses
