[R] chi-Squared distribution in Friedman test
Dear R helpers: Thanks for the previous reply. I am using Friedman racing test. According the the book Pratical Nonprametric Statistic by WJ Conover, after computing the statistics, he suggested to use chi-squared or F distribution to accept or reject null hypothesis. After looking into the source code, I found that R uses chi-sqaured distribution as below: PVAL - pchisq(STATISTIC, PARAMETER, lower = FALSE) but still I cant figure out why they are using this pschisq insted of dchisq. Sorry I am wrong!!

[R] R: chi-Squared distribution in Friedman test
Hi, pchisq - distribution function dchisq - density function pval is the area under the curve, to calculte it you use distribution function which is the integral of density function. See: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda362.htm http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DistributionFunction.html f(x) density function F(x) distribution function =Pr(Xx)= integral(f(x)) Hoping I helped you!

Sorry I am wrong!! You want to get the distribution function rather than the density.

Re: [R] chi-Squared distribution in Friedman test
Easy: First letter d = density, p = probability = cumulative distribution function (cdf), q = quantile = inverse cdf, r = pseudo-random number generation. This is in, for example, An Introduction to R. Are you familiar with help.start()? From an R command prompt (at least with recent versions under Windows), this opens a web browser with a page offering manuals, reference, and Miscellaneous Material. An Intro to R is in the upper left. Probability Distributions is section 8. hope this helps. spencer graves Prasanna Balaprakash wrote: Dear R helpers: Thanks for the previous reply.
