public class ChiSquareTest extends Object
This implementation handles both known and unknown distributions.
Two samples tests can be used when the distribution is unknown a priori but provided by one sample, or when the hypothesis under test is that the two samples come from the same underlying distribution.

This statistic can be used to perform a Chi-Square test evaluating the null hypothesis that the observed counts follow the expected distribution.
Preconditions:
If any of the preconditions are not met, an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
Note: This implementation rescales the
expected
array if necessary to ensure that the sum of the
expected and observed counts are equal.

Computes a
Chi-Square two sample test statistic comparing bin frequency counts
in observed1
and observed2
. The
sums of frequency counts in the two samples are not required to be the
same. The formula used to compute the test statistic is
∑[(K * observed1[i] - observed2[i]/K)2 / (observed1[i] + observed2[i])]
where
K = &sqrt;[&sum(observed2 / ∑(observed1)]
This statistic can be used to perform a Chi-Square test evaluating the null hypothesis that both observed counts follow the same distribution.
Preconditions:
observed1
and observed2
must have
the same length and their common length must be at least 2.
If any of the preconditions are not met, an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.

Returns the observed significance level, or

The number returned is the smallest significance level at which one can reject the null hypothesis that the observed counts conform to the same distribution.

on the formula used to compute the test statistic. The degrees of
of freedom used to perform the test is one less than the common length
of the input observed count arrays.

Performs a Chi-Square two sample test comparing two binned data
sets. The test evaluates the null hypothesis that the two lists of
observed counts conform to the same frequency distribution, with
significance level alpha
. Returns true iff the null
hypothesis can be rejected with 100 * (1 - alpha) percent confidence.
