A tidier version of chisq.test() for goodness of fit tests and tests of independence.

chisq_test(x, formula, response = NULL, explanatory = NULL, ...)

## Arguments

x A data frame that can be coerced into a tibble. A formula with the response variable on the left and the explanatory on the right. The variable name in x that will serve as the response. This is alternative to using the formula argument. The variable name in x that will serve as the explanatory variable. Additional arguments for chisq.test().

## Examples

# chi-squared test of independence for college completion
# status depending on one's self-identified income class
chisq_test(gss, college ~ finrela)

# chi-squared goodness of fit test on whether self-identified
