This is given as (adbc)/(ad + bc) (Hall and Oliver, 1997). If the columns are read as the givens, then cell a [when divided by (a + c)] corresponds to p(Ci|Rj). If the rows are read as the givens, then cell a [when divided by (a + b)] corresponds to p(Rj|Ci). Rj must be either RS or RL, and the other column then RL or RS, respectively. The Z-score associated with the matrix under the null assumption is:
zij=(xijmij)/mij(1p+j)(1pi+) (1)
where xij = observed joint frequency of R and C, mij = expected joint frequency of R and C, p+j = unconditional probability of R, and pi+ = unconditional probability of C (these probabilities are the row and column marginals). The row i indicates the absence of behavior Ci in that interval.
