I have a set of data:
data
------
x1
x2
x3
x4
...etc

I used two methods "standard_chi-sqr" and "improved_chi-sqr" to minimize the fits to these data so I have now:

data, standard-chi-sqr, improved_chi-sqr
----------------------------------------------------
x1 , v1 , V1
x2 , v2 , V2
x3 , v3 , V3
... etc

Is there a test I can apply to my results to decide which method is better?

Thanks

What does each of your chi square statistics measure or represent? (What are you trying to do?)
 
ok thanks ...
