Análisis estadístico
Las variables cualitativas se expresaron en porcentajes y se analizaron los contrastes de asociación mediante el test de Chi Cuadrado (χ2) o, en su defecto, el test de Fisher.
I don't think of Chi-square as a test of association contrasts, but maybe differences in association? Not sure how to best phrase it. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Juliette

contrasts
I'd just say "contrasts" here. Independent contrasts are used to test for associations traits.

: The link you give is irrelevant. It mentions chi-sq as a test of "discrepancy" (in lay terms) of theoretical from empirical distribution. The Fisher exact test is completely different.

Discussion
Let's leave it to the asker now.
Las variables cualitativas se expresaron en porcentajes y se analizaron los contrastes de asociación mediante el test de Chi Cuadrado (χ2) o, en su defecto, el test de Fisher.
See e.g. https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat505/book/export/ht...
Section 8.6
The text is not talking about the F test. A test of independence tests whether two variables are correlated or uncorrelated.
What I call 'discrepancy' is the gap between the two variables under consideration. See the attachment.
Last but not least, please be as analytical as I am when you criticize me!
