The term “Chi-Squared Test” is often thrown around without much clarification about which specific test is being referenced. Of course, if you are a data scientist, you should know type of test that the other is referring to. However, if you are someone just jumping into their data science career or learning about data science, it’s pretty understandable that this distinction can be confusing.
That’s exactly why I’m writing this article today!
I’ll help you break down the different types of Chi-Squared tests and provide a thorough explanation of when and how to use them. This article will be a continuation of my A/B Testing and Hypothesis Testing series, so if you are interested, go check them out as well!
Also… Before I start getting into the details, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the timing of this article. As my final writing for 2024, I imagine many of you might be reading this on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, or sometime shortly after.
