Hello,
Is there a test for independence available based on a multidimensional
contingency table?
I've about 300 processes, and for each of them I get numbers for failures and
successes. I've two or more conditions under which I test these processes.
If I had just one process to test I could just perform a fisher or chisquare
test on a 2x2 contigency table, like this:
for one process:
conditionA conditionB
ok 20 6
failed 190 156
>From the table I can figure out if the outcome (ok/failed) is bound to one of
the conditions for a process. However, I'd like to know how different the 2
conditions are from each other considering all 300 processes, and I consider
the processes to be an additional dimension.
My H0 is that both conditions are overall (considering all processes) the
same.
Could you give me a hint what kind of test of package I should look into?
kind regars + thanks for your help,
Arne
