Introduction Hypotheses Example Data Observed frequencies Expected frequencies Fisher’s exact test in R Conclusion and interpretation References Introduction After presenting the Chi-square test of independence by hand and in R, this article focuses on the Fisher’s exact test. Independence tests are used to determine if there is a significant relationship between two categorical variables. There exists two different types of independence test: the Chi-square test (the most common) the Fisher’s exact test On...
