Some textbooks still teach chi-square testing in their "nonparametrics" section, apparently because the author didn't think it warranted a chapter of its own and they thought that was the best place to introduce it (maybe because it was the first test they introduced that didn't involve normality assumptions). That's becoming rarer, as analysis of count data increasingly gets its own chapter which also covers log- linear modelling and the like. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
