Introduction
When we talk of chi-square tests, basically we study two types:
Chi-square for independenceChi-square for the goodness of fit
Both of them are non-parametric tests (that do not have a continuous scale for measurement and are assumption-free)
The first one helps determine any association between qualitative variables, and the second one tells whether a sample follows the same distribution as a sample or not.
Chi-square for independence
This test helps determine any association between two categorical values of qualitative data. It is only applicable to the Categorical data.
