    A simple question about statistical measures.

     

    Could someone explain in very simple terms why we don't normally use
    Chi-square as a measure of collocational significance? We tend to use
    t-score and MI and not Chi-square. Why not? I am not a mathematician so
    would appreciate it if you could keep it simple.

     

    Many thanks
