The Fisher exact test for association in 2x2 tables

Described in Chapter 4 "The 2x2 Table"

Fisher_exact_test_2x2(n, statistic = "Pearson")

Arguments

n

the observed counts (a 2x2 matrix)

statistic

'hypergeometric' (i.e. Fisher-Irwin; default), 'Pearson', or 'LR' (likelihood ratio)

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.
