Ho Chi Minh
the president of North Vietnam during the first part of the Vietnam War until his death (1892-1969). orig. Nguyen Sinh Cung born May 19, 1890, Hoang Tru, Viet. died Sept. 2, 1969, Hanoi President (1945-69) of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam). Son of a poor scholar, he was brought up in a rural village. In 1911 he found work on a French steamer and traveled the world, then spent six years in France, where he became a socialist. In 1923 he went to the Soviet Union; the next year he went to China, where he started organizing exiled Vietnamese. He founded the Indochina Communist Party in 1930 and its successor, the Viet Minh, in 1941. In 1945 Japan overran Indochina, overthrowing its French colonial rulers; when the Japanese surrendered to the Allies six months later, Ho and his Viet Minh forces seized the opportunity, occupied Hanoi, and proclaimed Vietnamese independence. France refused to relinquish its former colony, and the First Indochina War broke out in 1946. Ho's forces defeated the French in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu, after which the country was partitioned into North and South Vietnam. Ho, who ruled in the north, was soon embroiled with the U.S.-backed regime of Ngo Dinh Diem in the south in what became known as the Vietnam War; North Vietnamese forces prevailed over the south six years after Ho's death

Ho Chi Minh City
a city in the southern part of Vietnam. It was formerly known as Saigon, and was the capital of South Vietnam when the country was divided. formerly Saigon City (pop., 1999 est.: 4,549,000), southern Vietnam. It lies along the Saigon River north of the Mekong River delta. The Vietnamese first entered the region, then part of the kingdom of Cambodia, in the 17th century. In 1862 the area, including the town, was ceded to France. After World War II Vietnam declared its independence, but French troops seized control and the First Indochina War began. The Geneva conference in 1954 divided the country, and Saigon became the capital of South Vietnam. In the Vietnam War, it was the headquarters for U.S. military operations; it was captured by North Vietnamese troops in 1975 and renamed for Ho Chi Minh. Rebuilding since the war has promoted its commercial importance

chi square test
(Ticaret) A quality test measuring the assumption that the distribution characteristics of a set of data is reasonable (similar to expected)
chi-square
A statistic that helps determine whether the pattern of frequencies found in data assigned to categories is likely due to chance or is atypical Also used to compare data with a model to determine whether the data's fit is within the typical range of sampling and chance error Also, used to combined the results of independently conducted studies to determine overall statistical significance
chi-square
Rather than measuring the value of each of a set of items, a calculated value of chi-square compares the frequencies of various kinds (or categories) of items in a random sample to the frequencies that are expected if the population frequencies are as hypothesized by the investigator Chi-square is often used to assess the "goodness of fit" between an obtained set of frequencies in a random sample and what is expected under a given statistical hypothesis For example, chi-square can be used to determine if there is reason to reject the statistical hypothesis that the frequencies in a random sample are as expected when the items are from a normal distribution
chi-square
Represented by the symbol χ2; statistical test used to determine if differences among nominal, or categorical, level data are statistically significant; examines the observed frequencies in comparison to the expected frequencies to determine if the categorical differences that occurred are the same as would occur by chance

( c ² )
chi-square

chi-square test
A statistical significance test based on frequency of occurrence; it is applicable both to qualitative attributes and quantitative variables Among its many uses, the most common are test of hypothesized probabilities or probability distributions (goodness of fit), statistical dependence or independence (association), and common population (homogeneity)

chi-square test
A test that uses the chi-square statistic to test the fit between a theoretical frequency distribution and a frequency distribution of observed data, measuring correlation
chi-square test
The chi-square test is performed on a two-way frequency table to test whether two variables can be considered statistically independent It is calculated in the Crosstabulation and Contingency Table statlets In calculating the chi-square test, the observed frequency in each cell is compared to the frequency which would be expected if the row and column classifications were independent If the calculated statistic is large (i e , if its P value is less than a predetermined significance level such as 05), then the null hypothesis of independence must be rejected The chi-square test is valid only if the expected frequency in each cell is relatively large If any frequency is less than 5, a warning is displayed If the two-way table contains exactly 2 rows and 2 columns and the total count in the table does not exceed 100, Fisher's exact test is also performed

chi-square test
A statistical measure of goodness of fit, independence, or homogeneity of a population The Chi-square test can be used to determine whether a sample of data was drawn from a normally distributed population by comparing the sample's frequency distribution with the normal distribution It can also be used to determine whether two variables are independent by comparing their observed joint occurrence with their expected joint occurrence, assuming independence Finally, it can be used to determine whether or not categories of a single variable are represented in the same proportions in two or more populations
chi-square test
A statistic calculated in the Crosstabulation and Contingency Table statlets It ranges from -1 to +1 and is based on the number of concordant and discordant pairs of observations A concordant pair is one is which the two variables (row and column) have the same relative ranking (greater than or less than) A discordant pair is one in which the two variables have the opposite ranking Both variables must be ordinal No correction is made for ties
chi-square test
a statistical test of the agreement between the observed frequency of events and the frequency expected according to some hypothesis
