\description{
  The algorithm finds weights of discrete attributes basing on a chi-squared test.
}
\usage{
chi.squared(formula, data)
}
\arguments{
  \item{formula}{ a symbolic description of a model }
  \item{data}{ a symbolic description of a model }
}
\details{
  The result is equal to Cramer's V coefficient between source attributes and destination attribute.
}
