[R] Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect

[SNN]

Hi,


I am trying to run a Chi squre test but I am getting the following message

Warning messages:
1: In chisq.test(t) : Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect

Does anyone what it means?

your help is appreciated

Nancy (?),
see ?chisq.test (in particular the examples and the comment on "expected
frequency" there).
A rule of thumb (see any basic text book) for the chisquared
approximation being okay is that the expected value in each cell is at
least 5. The warning tells you that this does not hold true for at least
one of your cells.
You might want to try
chisq.test(t, simulate.p.value = TRUE)
instead.
