Example of Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test
Consider a HR dataset containing features like Age, BusinessTravel, Daily Rate, Department, DistanceFromHome, Education, and so on. A snippet of the input data is shown in the figure given below.
The BusinessTravel feature is selected as the categorical variable for studying the Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test.
The part of the Result page containing charts for the Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test is displayed below.
On this part of the Result Page,
- Chart of Contribution to the Chi Square value by Category shows Combined Values depicting the contribution of each BusinessTravel frequency to the calculated Chi Square value.
- Chart of Observed and expected Values gives a comparative idea of the contribution of each BusinessTravel frequency to the calculated Chi Square value.
On this part of the Result Page,
- Chart of Contribution to the Chi Square value by Category shows Combined Values depicting the contribution of each BusinessTravel frequency to the calculated Chi Square value.
- Chart of Observed and expected Values gives a comparative idea of the contribution of each BusinessTravel frequency to the calculated Chi Square value.
- Null Hypothesis assumes that there is no difference between observed and expected values.
- Alternative Hypothesis assumes that there is significant difference between observed values and expected values.
- Computation table for Chi Square gives the Observed Frequency (O) and Expected Frequency (E) of the BusinessTravel feature in the categories, Travel_Rarely, Travel_Frequently, and Non-Travel. It also shows the values for (O-E), (O-E)2, (O-E)2 /E.
- The Result table for Chi Square gives the Critical Value (952.6082), Calculated Value (5.9915) for Chi Square. It also gives the p value (0) and alpha (0.05).
You observe that the p value is less than alpha. Thus, the Interpretation states that there is not enough evidence available to accept the null hypothesis. Thus, values are not coming from a normal distribution. This is because, there is a significant amount of difference between the observed values and expected values.
