A Test for Symmetry in Contingency Tables

Bowker, Albert H.·1948·Journal of the American Statistical Association

Abstract

Suppose that a sample of N individuals is classified according to two arguments, A and B, in an m by m contingency table and suppose that the categories of classification A are associated in some unique way with the categories of classification B. For example, in the study in which this problem arose the categories were related to the position of plates of stickleback (Gasterosteus) and the two arguments corresponded to right and left sides; it was logical to associate identical patterns on opposite sides. Denote by Pij the probability that a randomly chosen individual belongs to the ith. row and jth column of the table. As usual, a dot indicates summation over the replaced index.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
