(x)[source]¶ Cochran’s Q test for identical effect of k treatments
Cochran’s Q is a k-sample extension of the McNemar test. If there are only two treatments, then Cochran’s Q test and McNemar test are equivalent.
Test that the probability of success is the same for each treatment. The alternative is that at least two treatments have a different probability of success.
- Parameters
- xarray_like, 2d (N,k)
data with N cases and k variables
- Returns
Notes
In Wikipedia terminology, rows are blocks and columns are treatments. The number of rows N, should be large for the chisquare distribution to be a good approximation. The Null hypothesis of the test is that all treatments have the same effect.
