ALMADA, Vitor C.    OLIVEIRA, Rui F.. Sobre o uso de estatística de simulação em estudos de comportamento . []. , 15, 1, pp.97-109. ISSN 0870-8231.

In this paper we discuss briefly the potential of simulation statistics in the behavioural sciences. We present two applications: one developed by Estabrook and Estabrook (1989) for the analysis of contingency tables and another developed in our research unit for goodness-of-fit tests. Both procedures overcome the problems of low expected values that limit the use of X2 statistic in many ciscunstances, and offer the possibility of assessing the significance of specific cells/ /classes.
