Re: [R] need help for chi-squared test
David,
I think the poster wants to use one of the columns as x and the other as y,
ignoring the remaining columns. If that is the case then he/she needs to read
the section in "Introduction to R" on subsetting data frames.
I agree that the output so far is meaningless, from the degrees of freedom it
looks like chisq.test is interpreting the data frame as a 1245 by 4 contingency
table. The thing that concerns me is the lack of any warnings or errors, if
there truly were not any warnings then how is it interpreting counts of 0.25?
and I would expect the number of 0's in the part shown to generate the warning
about cell sizes too small.

So, where did you download this data and when is your homework due?
and got this
Pearson's Chi-squared test
data: read.table("C:/Users/Maggy/Downloads/dust.asc", header = TRUE)
X-squared = 5226.164, df = 3735, p-value < 2.2e-16
and I think it should be right for the whole set,
I, on the other hand. now suspect it is a meaningless set of numbers.
but that's not what I
need, because I only have to use it for "cbr" and "smoking"
Do you mean you have an understanding of the potential values of cbr
and smoking in that data and that you want to restrict your analysis
to some subset defined by particular values of those variables?

Re: [R] need help for chi-squared test
I used chisq.test(read.table("C:/Users/Maggy/Downloads/dust.asc",
header=TRUE))
and got this
Pearson's Chi-squared test
data: read.table("C:/Users/Maggy/Downloads/dust.asc", header = TRUE)
X-squared = 5226.164, df = 3735, p-value < 2.2e-16
and I think it should be right for the whole set, but that's not what I
need, because I only have to use it for "cbr" and "smoking"

This is not a sufficiently complex example on which to offer a solution, nor is it even clear enough to understand definitively what you want. So here is a guess: dfrm[which(dfrm$cbr==1 & dfrm$smoking==1), ] ... which would return a dataframe (or matrix depending on what form that data exists in) with only those cases where thos two conditions hold. You can either assign this value to an R object or you can apply the chisq.test() in what ever (unstated) manner you think has been "working" to the returned value as a whole.
