chi2sim 1.0.2.3

Chi-square test with Monte Carlo simulation

chi2sim

Chi-square test with Monte Carlo simulation for contingency tables. The package and its documentation are still under construction.

Description

The chi2sim package is a Python implementation that contains the translation of R's H tests for contingency tables when simulate.p.value = TRUE, originally written in C and based on Patefield's (1981) FORTRAN algorithm. The package provides a fast and reliable method to compute p-values for chi-square tests using Monte Carlo simulation.

Installation

pip install chi2sim

Usage

import numpy as np
from chi2sim import chi2_cont_sim

# Example contingency table
table = np.array([
    [10, 5],
    [20, 15]
], dtype=int)

# Perform chi-square test with Monte Carlo simulation
result = chi2_cont_sim(table)
print(result)

Features

• Similar to SciPy's scipy.stats.chi2_contingency, but returns
• Monte Carlo simulation for p-value approximation
• Easy-to-use Python interface

Requirements

• Python >= 3.9
• NumPy >= 1.15.0
