Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit (Genetics) implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

An expected ratio containing a zero produces an expected count E = 0 and a 0/0 χ² term when the corresponding observed count is also zero. The instrument must reject this input or explicitly define handling; otherwise the statistic and p-value are undefined.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
