Hello, I've read the other posts with regard to "chisq.test" and "goodness of fit" and am still missing something. 1. I create a simple vector of randomly generated lognormal values with mean=0 and sd=1; >d1 <- rlnorm(100,meanlog=0,sdlog=1); 2. I also create a vector of probabilities that are expected for a lognormal distribution. I suspect this is the culprit. >pr <- dlnorm(d1,meanlog=0,sdlog=1); 3. I perform the chi-square test on the random data and expected probabilities. >c <- chisq.test(d1,p=pr,rescale.p=TRUE);
The output is as follows: Warning message: Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect in: chisq.test(d1, p = pr, rescale.p = TRUE) > c; Chi-squared test for given probabilities data: d1 X-squared = 156992.7, df = 99, p-value < 2.2e-16 I'd expect the "goodness of fit" test to pass, with a high p value. Can someone tell me why things seem incorrect. Again I apologize for the simpleton request.
