Talk:Yates' correction for continuity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought that Fischers Exact test should be used when there are expected frequencies less than 5? [Anonymous]

Wouldn't Yates' continuity correction actually be different from Yates' chi-square test? One could say the former is used in the latter, no? - dcljr 20:53, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Article currently says subtract 0.5 from each table entry. I thought you should move each table entry by 0.5 towards the "expected" value. Anyone no for sure?

I also believe that the Fisher Exact test should be used for testing low frequency contingency table. I am wondering if the original author can look into this and edit the text to reflect what is commonly accepted. Hong 20:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I've tagged this article for cleanup - there seems to be a broken math formula under where it mentions an example 2x2 table. Deathanatos 00:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
