\title{Independence table}
\usage{
indTab(x, margin = c("gmean_sum", "sum"), frequency = c("relative",
  "absolute"), pTabMethod = c("dirichlet", "half", "classical"))
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{an object of class table}

\item{margin}{determines how the margins of the table should be estimated (default via geometric mean margins)}

\item{frequency}{indicates whether absolute or relative frequencies should be computed.}

\item{pTabMethod}{to estimate the propability table. Default is \sQuote{dirichlet}. Other available methods: 
\sQuote{classical} that is function \code{prop.table()} from package base or method \dQuote{half} that add 1/2 to each cell
to avoid zero problems.}
}
\value{
The independence table(s) with either relative or absolute frequencies.
}
\description{
Estimates the expected frequencies from an m-way table under the 
null hypotheses of independence.
}
\details{
Because of the compositional nature of probability tables, the independence tables should 
be estimated using geometric marginals.

data(precipitation) 
tab1 <- indTab(precipitation)
tab1
sum(tab1)
