Hi Michael, there are basically two different ways to use the ChiSquare test:
* compute the chi-square test of independence (use the chiSquareTest(long[][]) method) * compute the chi-square goodness of fit test (use the chiSquareTest(double[], long[]) method) In your example, you computed the goodness of fit test, but were expecting the result of the test of independence. The first provided link makes the distinction as well and you can compute both values, getting the same result as commons-math.
