Hello all,
I am trying to understand the different results I am getting from the
following 3 commands:
chisq.test(c(62,50), p = c(0.512,1-0.512), correct = F) # p-value = 0.3788
binom.test(x=62,n=112, p= 0.512) # p-value = 0.3961
2*(1-pbinom(62,112, .512)) # p-value = 0.329
Well, the binom.test was supposed to be "exact" and give the same results
as the pbinom, while the chisq.test relies on the normal asymptotics. So I
would imagine the binom.test should be equal to one of the other two lines,
but it is not.
The same happens for larger numbers as well:
chisq.test(c(1395,1278), p = c(0.512,1-0.512), correct = F)
# chisq.test(c(1395,1278), p = c(0.512,1-0.512), simulate.p.value= T)
binom.test(x=1395,n=2673, p= 0.512)
2*(1-pbinom(1395,2673, .512))
I'd be happy to know what I might be missing.
Thanks,
Tal
