Methodological features of χ2 consistancy criteria using in the practical problems of sociology, economics and marketing
Abstract
There is a need to compare probability of distributions of various qualitative factors in many practical problems of sociology, economics and marketing. They may be the taste preferences of customers, the sources of the searching for information about the goods or services, sales structure, financial and economic results in different sections etc. The distribution may depend on different social, financial and economic factors: age, education, income, belonging to certain professional groups, local features, etc.
The article shows that the classic method of testing of statistical hypotheses about the difference between sample distributions of some factors using χ2 consistency criterion, created for comparison of empirical and theoretical distributions, is not fully correct. Therefore, it is proposed the method of using χ2 test for the practical solution of similar problems.
