Functions

def es_cohen_w(chi2, n)

Cohen's w

An effect size measure that could be used with a chi-square test. It has no upper limit, but can be compared to Cohen's rules-of-thumb.

This function is shown in this YouTube video and the measure is also described at PeterStatistics.com

Parameters

chi2 : float

the chi-square test statistic

n : int

the sample size

Returns

w : float

value of Cohen's w

Notes

The formula used is (Cohen, 1988, p. 216): $$w = \sqrt{\frac{\chi_{GoF}^{2}}{n}}$$

Symbols used:

• $\chi_{GoF}^{2}$, the Pearson chi-square goodness-of-fit value
• $n$, the sample size, i.e. the sum of all frequencies

Before, After and Alternatives

Before this you will need a chi-square value. From either: * ts_pearson_gof for Pearson Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test * ts_freeman_tukey_gof for Freeman-Tukey Test of Goodness-of-Fit * ts_freeman_tukey_read for Freeman-Tukey-Read Test of Goodness-of-Fit * ts_g_gof for G (Likelihood Ratio) Goodness-of-Fit Test * ts_mod_log_likelihood_gof for Mod-Log Likelihood Test of Goodness-of-Fit * ts_neyman_gof for Neyman Test of Goodness-of-Fit * ts_powerdivergence_gof for Power Divergence GoF Test * ph_pairwise_gof for Pairwise Goodness-of-Fit Tests * ph_residual_gof_gof for Residuals Using Goodness-of-Fit Tests

After this you might want to use some rule-of-thumb for the interpretation: * th_cohen_w for various rules-of-thumb for Cohen w

Alternative effect sizes that use a chi-square value: * es_cramer_v_gof for Cramer's V for Goodness-of-Fit * es_jbm_e for Johnston-Berry-Mielke E * es_fei for Fei
