A more powerful form of chi-square specifically tests for a linear trend in proportions across groups. For example, proportion remembered correctly using a memory aid.

Example

100 x Stress

Goodness of Fit

20% or above

Very Poor (not worth doing)

Does the proportion correct change linearly over time?

The chi-square testing the presence of a linear trend is outputted by SPSS CROSSTABS as the Linear-by-Linear association term. The lack of fit is the difference between the Pearson chi-square value and the linear-by-linear one.

Chi-square Degrees of Freedom

Linear 7.96 on 1 p=.005 Lack of fit 0.29 on 1 p=.130

Total 8.25 on 2 (Pearson chi-square)

So there is a linear trend providing a reasonable fit.

Denoting the time points by –1,0 and 1 and regressing these on the observed
