    Chi square test

    Hi All,

    I have some data in my C code, I want to execute chi-square test on those data.

    I can have observed, expected values as well as the chisquare value, but I have no clue how to calculate the chi square distribution value.

    I can write a program in R to compute the "pvalue" of the chisquare test, but I am not being able to call that R function from C.

    Do you have any idea about how can I use execv()(or similar) function to execute R functions ?

    Thanks a bunch,

    I wouldn't keep hunting for it if the hits on Google don't show what you need. It's been two days.

    What do you think about writing that one function, in C? If you have a template for it (the function in R), it doesn't sound too difficult.

    I know very little about it. If I understand it right, it's a statistics test which can tell you if the data you've received is within the expected range.

    Did you click the link? Did you click the first link on that page? If so, why does that not give you what you want?

    I hate to "gangbang" but surely you are just some kind of sightless bot anyway, learnerC...

    Perhaps you need to TURN ON THE MONITOR.
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
