Next, specify the matrix that contains the data. The following shows the meaning of the above item.

Observed ....................

name of matrix (A to Z) that contains observed counts (all cells

 

positive integers)

Expected .....................

name of matrix (A to Z) that is for saving expected frequency

Save Res .....................

list for storage of calculation results (None or List 1 to 20)

Execute .......................

executes a calculation or draws a graph

#The matrix must be at least two lines by two columns. An error occurs if the matrix has only one line or one column.

#Pressing 2('MAT) while setting parameters enters the MATRIX editor, which you can use to edit and view the contents of matrices.
