Phil Steitz resolved MATH-878. ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed In r1408172, I changed method names to match the conventions of the other classes in the inference package: g() returns the g stat, gTest does tests, etc. I added G-test statistics to TestUtils in r1408173 and updated the user guide in r1408174. Thanks again for the patch. > G-Test (Log-Likelihood ratio - LLR test) in math.stat.inference > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MATH-878 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-878 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: New Feature > Environment: Netbeans > Reporter: Radoslav Tsvetkov > Labels: features, test > Fix For: 3.1 > > Attachments: MATH-878_gTest_12102012.patch, > MATH-878_gTest_15102012.patch, MATH-878_gTest_26102012.patch, > vcs-diff16294.patch > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > 1.

Reasons-Usefulness: G-tests are tests are increasingly being used in > situations where chi-squared tests were previously recommended. > The approximation to the theoretical chi-squared distribution for the G-test > is better than for the Pearson chi-squared tests. In cases where Observed > >2*Expected for some cell case, the G-test is always better than the > chi-squared test. > For testing goodness-of-fit the G-test is infinitely more efficient than the > chi squared test in the sense of Bahadur, but the two tests are equally > efficient in the sense of Pitman or in the sense of Hodge and Lehman. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
