When to use yates continuity correction??

I red this article, and I found this:

when some cell counts are low, typically understood to mean “below 10” or “below 5”. The Yates’
Correction, therefore, is used when conducting a Pearson’s Chi-squared test on
2 × 2 contingency tables and prevents overestimation of statistical significance;

So in my opinion, and reading the article, you will have to write:

correct = TRUE (When is bellow 10 or 5

And write:

correct=FALSE (When it is greater than 10)

I hope this is good for you and have a good time. (And read the link https://methods.sagepub.com/base/download/DatasetStudentGuide/yates-correction-anes-2016-r#:~:text=The%20Yates'%20Correction%2C%20therefore%2C,it%20when%20expected%20cell%20frequencies)
