Phi Coefficient of Association

Chi-Square Test of Association
Fisher Exact Probability Test
For two groups of subjects, each sorted according to the absence or presence of some
particular characteristic or condition, this page will calculate standard measures for Rates, Risk
Ratio, Odds, Odds Ratio, and Log Odds. It will also
calculate the Phi coefficient of association;
T
perform a chi-square test of association, if the sample size is not too small; and
T
perform the Fisher exact probability test, if the sample size is not too large. [Although the
Fisher test is traditionally used with relatively small samples, the programming for this page will handle
fairly large samples, up to about n=1000, depending on how the frequencies are arrayed within the four
cells.]
T
For intermediate values of n, the chi-square and Fisher tests will both be performed.

values have been entered, click the Calculate button. To perform a new analysis with a new

The logic and computational details of the Chi-Square and Fisher tests are described in
Chapter 8 and Subchapter 8a, respectively, of Concepts and Applications. A briefer
account of the Fisher test will be found toward the bottom of this page.

Chi-Square Chi-square is calculated only if all
expected cell frequencies are equal
to or greater than 5. The Yates value
is corrected for continuity; the Pearson
value is not. Both probability estimates
are non-directional.
