Thus, from the above theorem, if and only if
∆
(
u,v
) = 0 for all
v
, then the
u
-th row will satisfy the condition of statistically independence. Especially,
the following theorem is obtained.
Theorem 13.
If the following equation holds for all v
(1
n
)
, then the
condition of statistical independence will hold for the u-th row in a contingency
table.

It is notable that the above equations give diophatine equations which can
check whether each row (column) will satisfy the condition of statistical inde-
pendence. As a corollary,
Corollary 2.
If k
ui
is equal for all i
=1
,
···
,n
−
s , then the u-th satisfies
the condition of statistical independence.
The converse is not true.
