摘要:
Tables are given for the test of] significance of deviation from proportionality in a 2 x 2 table according to Fisher''s exact method at the 0.05, 0.025, 0.01 and 0.005 significance levels (single-tailed test) for tables in which one pair of marginal totals each do not exceed 15. It is noted that certain somewhat larger 2x2 tables may be handled by observing that they are more extreme than significant 2x2 tables which are given or less extreme than non-significant ones. Tables which are much larger than those tabulated may be handled by a Chi-square computation, perhaps with the Fisher-Yates correction.
