Hi,

The error is due to less than 5 observations in some cells.

    NO, NO, NO!!!!  It's not the observations that matter, it is
    the ***EXPECTED COUNTS***.  These must all be at least
    5 in order for the null distribution of the test statistic to be
    adequately approximated by a chi-squared distribution.

        cheers,

You can try,
fisher.test(tabele)
     Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data

data:  tabele
p-value = 0.0998
alternative hypothesis: two.sided

Dear list!

I would like to calculate "chisq.test" on simple data set with 70 observations, 
but the output is ''Warning message:''

Warning message:
In chisq.test(tabele) : Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect


Here is an example:

         tabele <- matrix(c(11, 3, 3, 18, 3, 6, 5, 21), ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE)
         dimnames(tabela) <- list(
         "SEX" = c("M","F"),
         "HAIR" = c("Brown", "Black", "Red", "Blonde"))
         addmargins(tabele)
         prop.table(tabele)
         chisq.test(tabele)
Please, give me an advice / suggestion / recommendation.

Thanks a lot to all, OV
