AI Thread Summary
To determine which chi-square method is more effective for data analysis, one should evaluate the goodness-of-fit statistics produced by both the standard and improved chi-square methods. The chi-square statistic measures how well the observed data fits the expected data under each method. A comparison of the resulting p-values can indicate which method provides a better fit. Additionally, considering the context of the data and the assumptions underlying each method is crucial for making an informed decision. Ultimately, selecting the appropriate method depends on the specific characteristics of the dataset and the research objectives.

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 ...

I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
