More information about the book can be found at http://wps.aw.com/aw_deveaux_stats_series. This file as well as the associated R Markdown reproducible analysis source file used to create it can be found at http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4. This work leverages initiatives undertaken by Project MOSAIC (http://www.mosaic-web.org), an NSF-funded effort to improve the teaching of statistics, calculus, science and computing in the undergraduate curriculum. In particular, we utilize the `mosaic` package, which was written to simplify the use of R for introductory statistics courses. A short summary of the R needed to teach introductory statistics can be found in the mosaic package vignettes (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mosaic). A paper describing the mosaic approach was published in the *R Journal*: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-024. ## Chapter 24: Comparing Counts ### Section 24.1: Goodness-of-fit tests Here we verify the calculations of expected counts for ballplayers by month (page 656). ```{r} ballplayer <- c(137, 121, 116, 121, 126, 114, 102, 165, 134, 115, 105, 122) national <- c(0.08, 0.07, 0.08, 0.08, 0.08, 0.08, 0.09, 0.09, 0.09, 0.09, 0.08, 0.09) n <- sum(~ ballplayer) n sum(~ national) expect <- n*national cbind(ballplayer, expect) ``` The chi-square quantile values in the table on the bottom of page 658 can be verified using the `xqt()` function. ```{r} xqchisq(c(.90, .95, .975, .99, .995), df = 1) ``` These results match the first row: other values can be calculated by changing the `df` argument. The goodness of fit test on page 659 can be verified by calculating the chi-square statistic. ```{r} chisq <- sum((ballplayer - expect)^2/expect) chisq 1-xpchisq(chisq, df = 11) ``` ### Section 24.2: Chi-square test of homogeneity Data from one university regarding the association between postgraduation activity and area of study is displayed in Table 24.1 (page 663). The `do()` function can be used to generate each of the rows in the table. ```{r} schooldata <- rbind( do(209) * data.frame(activity = "agriculture", area = "Employed"), do(198) * data.frame(activity = "arts/science", area = "Employed"), do(177) * data.frame(activity = "engineering", area = "Employed"), do(101) * data.frame(activity = "ILR", area = "Employed"), do(104) * data.frame(activity = "agriculture", area = "Grad school"), do(171) * data.frame(activity = "arts/science", area = "Grad school"), do(158) * data.frame(activity = "engineering", area = "Grad school"), do(33) * data.frame(activity = "ILR", area = "Grad school"), do(135) * data.frame(activity = "agriculture", area = "Other"), do(115) * data.frame(activity = "arts/science", area = "Other"), do(39) * data.frame(activity = "engineering", area = "Other"), do(16) * data.frame(activity = "ILR", area = "Other") ) tally(~ area + activity, margins = TRUE, data = schooldata) ``` ```{r fig.height = 6} vcd::mosaic(tally(~ activity + area, data = schooldata), main = "mosaicplot of activity by area", shade = TRUE) ``` ```{r} xchisq.test(tally(~ activity + area, data = schooldata)) ``` ### Section 24.3: Examining the residuals Note that the `xchisq.test()` function displays the standardized residuals as the last item in each cell of the table (and these match the results in Table 24.4 on page 668).
