Paper Summary

The article presents a new test to see if two categories are related in a large table with many empty cells. The test looks at the numbers that are not zero and considers randomness in the empty cells. This test is different from just adding a small number to the empty cells. The researchers used computer simulations to find the best estimates and to see how well the test works. They found that their test is powerful and can be used when there are empty cells in the table.
