I am using scikit learn to calculate the basic chi-square statistics(sklearn.feature_selection.chi2(X, y)):

def chi_square(feat,target):
"""   """
from sklearn.feature_selection import chi2
ch,pval =  chi2(feat,target)
return ch,pval



chisq,p = chi_square(feat_mat,target_sc)
print(chisq)
print("**********************")
print(p)

I have 1500 samples,45 features,4 classes. The input is a feature matrix with 1500x45 and a target array with 1500 components. The feature matrix is not sparse. When I run the program and I print the arrray "chisq" with 45 components, I can see that the component 13 has a negative value and p = 1. How is it possible? Or what does it mean or what is the big mistake that I am doing?

I am attaching the printouts of chisq and p:
