Re: st: Comparing groups

[MIGUEL ANGEL GRUPO DE INVESTIGACIO ODONT SIMANCAS PALLARES <msimancasp@unicartagena.edu.co>]

The video is useful and thanks for that. I can see and i know that X2
test is frequently used when want to know about the relationship
between a factor in study and a disease or event.
But my question is adressed to know if is correct to use X2 test to
compare the treatment groups having in mind that the outcome is
dichotomus (compare two treatment estrategies when the outcome is
dichotomus).

Hope know im being more clear,

Thanks.,
