, 12:18, March 13, 2009This article should be deleted.
:::We still haven't touched on the issue of the categories not being independent, which by itself is sufficient to invalidate the chi-squared technique. I'm new to this site, so I'm unsure as to the etiquette of making changes to the articles of another person - but the article here should at the very least mention that the chi-square test is being used here in a manner that violates its underlying assumptions in at least two fundamental ways, and the results are therefore suspect.--[[User:ElyM|ElyM]] 17:34, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

:::: It looks to me as though SJohnson has misinterpreted the application of the chi-squared test in quite a fundamental way. His/her analysis of Blount's data are therefore close to meaningless, regardless of whether the test used by Blount is appropriate or not. In my opinion, the entire page should therefore be deleted.
