chisquare 0.9

vers 0.8:

• Permutation-based p-value for the chi-squared statistic added;
• The calculation of the p-value for the permutation-based and Monte Carlo method has been modified from (1+sum(chistat.simulated>=chisq.stat)) / (B+1) to sum(chistat.simulated>=chisq.stat)/B;
• The optional plot of the permutation distribution of the chi-square statistic has been added;
• The option of plotting the permutation and the Monte Carlo distribution side-by-side has been added;
• In the plot showing the distribution of the Monte Carlo chi-squared values, the main and sub title have been amended: reference to “permutation” has been changed to “Monte Carlo”;
• The minimum and the average expected count are now reported in the last rendered table;
• An annotation has been added to the first rendered table in order to give suggestions as to the selection of the most “reliable” chi-square result on the basis of different criteria (following literature; see help documentation);
• In the first rendered output table, the items featuring the annotation at the bottom of the table have been grouped and separated by an empty line to enhance readability;
• Unlike version 0.7, for determining the magnitude of the association expressed by Cadj, Cramer’s V, and V biased-corrected, the coefficients are not internally converted to Cohen’s w, but the Cohen’s thresholds for small, medium, and large effect are dinamically internally computed on the basis of the table’s df;
• For consistency, the indication of the magnitude of the association for the W coefficient is now based on the Cohen’s thresholds, using the same procedure employed for Cadj, Cramer’s V, and V biased-corrected;
• Scholarly literature about the average expected count added to the help documentation;
• Help documentation updated and improved content-wise.

vers 0.7:

• Indication of effect size added to Phi, Phi signed, Phi corrected, Cadjusted;
• Changes and fix in the method underlying the indication of the effect size for Cramer’s V and bias-corrected V; these changes (following Sheskin 2011) allow to provide indication of effect size for tables of any size;
• Wald 95 percent confidence interval around the Monte Carlo (permutation-based) chi-square p-value added;
• The 95 percent CI around the permuted p-value is reported in the annotations at the bottom of the first produced table, and in the Analysis report table;
• Phi-corrected added;
• W coefficient added (including magnitude of effect size and bootstrap 95% CI);
• W is also reported in the annotation at the bottom of the first tables produced by the function;
• Corrected version of Goodman-Kruskal’s lambda (both aymmetric and asymmetric) added;
• In the annotations at the bottom of the first table produced by the function, Goodman-Kruskal symmetric lambda has been replaced by its corrected version for its ability to addresses skewed or unbalanced marginal probabilities which create problems to the traditional lambda;
• The magnitude of the effect indicated by the odds ratio (introduced in ver. 0.6) is not returned anymore, but only reported in the Analysis report table for consistency with other effect size magnitude indication;
• Labels used for the magnitude of effect size slightly modified to enhance clarity and consistency;
• The returned results are organised into a nested list format for better clarity and accessibility: input.table, chi.sq.related.results, G.square, residuals, chi.sq.based.assoc.measures, and non.chi.sq.based.assoc.measures;
• Help documentation updated and improved content-wise;
• An error in the help documentation has been amended: the adjusted chi-square statistic was described as produced by “dividing” the chi-square value by (N-1)/N; “dividing” was meant to read “multiplying”;
• Relevant scholarly references added.

vers 0.6 * chi-square test adjusted by the (N-1)/N correction added; * magnitude of the effect size as indicated by the odds ratio added; * help documentation updated, and improved content-wise; * relevant scholarly references added.

vers 0.5 * the plot of odds ratios is now returned for cross-tabs featuring 2 rows and at least 2 columns; * to enhance consistency and clarity, the parameter ‘row_category’ has been renamed to ‘row.level’; the parameter ‘reference_level’ has been renamed to ‘reference.level’; * Haldane-Anscombe correction added in the calculation of odds ratio; * to improve clarity, minor adjustments have been carried out to the error messages returned when the parameter ‘plot.or’ is ‘TRUE’ but the input cross-tab does not meet the needed requirements (2xk, where k >= 2); * help documentation updated and improved content- and layout-wise.

vers 0.4 * the facility to plot the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for table of size 2xk (where k>2) has been added; * the above added facility rests on a new internal function (visualize_odds_ratios); * amendments and updates to the help documentation.

vers 0.3 * Moment-corrected standardized residuals added; * 95% confidence interval for Cramer’s V added; * The output version of the input cross-tabulation now reports some essential analytical results in an annotation at the bottom of the table; * Fix to the output version of the input cross-tabulation when cells feature a frequency of 0; * The Goodman-Kruskal’s tau reported in previous versions is now indicated as “columns dependent”“, and the”row dependent" version of the same coefficent is now calculated and reported.

vers 0.2 * Relative contributions to the chi-square added; * Contributions to the chi-square previously reported in ver_0.1 are now called absolute contribution; * Bibliographical reference added for the abovementioned contributions; * Significance level of the reported standardized and adjusted standardized residuals can be corrected using the Sidak’s alpha adjustment method; * G-square test added; * Symmetric Goodman-Kruskal’s lambda and Goodman-Kruskal’s tau added; * Cohen’s k (with 95% CI) added; * Odds ratio (with p value and 95% CI) added (for 2x2 tables); * Effect size for Cramer’s V and Cramer’s V bias-corrected added to the table of the test’s results; returned for tables with up to 5 degrees of freedom according to Cohen 1988; * Degrees of freedom added to the output table reporting the test’s result; * The distribution of the permuted chi-square statistic can be optionally plotted; * Fix in the calculation of the cells contribution (in percent) to the chi-square; * Output tables formatted using the ‘gt’ package instead of ‘formattable’; * Option added to customize the font size of the output tables; * Improvements to the content and layout of the help documentation.
