Abstract (EN)
This paper revisits the Pearson Chi-squared independence test. After presentingthe underlying theory with modern notations and showing new way of deriving theproof, we describe an innovative and intuitive graphical presentation of this test. Thisenables not only interpreting visually the test but also measuring how close or far weare from accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis of non independence.
