Hi to all, For some years I have been teaching a technique which I know as testing the components of chi square in a standard contingency table problem. If you calculate the standardised residual SR = (fo - fe)/sqrt(fe) for each cell, these residuals are approximately normally distributed with

If you think you need more precision than given in the usual tables or with a caculator, think again. You are probably fooling yourself since no distribution in the real world is _exactly_ normal. Jon Cryer At 03:55 PM 7/5/00 GMT, you wrote: >Trying to use in finacial calcs. Hardcosed one to fo

I'm afraid that some of the comments about convenience sampling have been a bit too harsh. Convenience samples can provide you with useful information. You have to characterize (usually in a qualitative sense) how your sample would differ from an ideal sample that was randomly selected. In particu

If you can do your analyses quickly you can also download the Minitab demo from www.minitab.com. It will give you full functionality for 30 days (at which time it will cease to function). If you are a student, you can learn from this and then buy Minitab when you get a job. If you are not a stud
