[Corpora-List] Chi-Square

[Crayton Walker]

A simple question about statistical measures.

 

Could someone explain in very simple terms why we don't normally use
Chi-square as a measure of collocational significance? We tend to use
t-score and MI and not Chi-square. Why not? I am not a mathematician so
would appreciate it if you could keep it simple.

 

Many thanks
