fisher: Fisher's exact test for a two-way table

Description

Performs a sampling version of Fisher's exact test for a two-way contingency table.

Usage

fisher(tab, n.sim = 1000)

Arguments

tab
A matrix of counts.
n.sim
Number of samples of permuted tables to consider.

Value

  • A single number: the P-value testing independence of rows and columns in the table.

Details

This is like the function fisher.test, but calculates an approximate P-value rather than performing a complete enumeration. This will be better for large, sparse tables.
