We propose a simple and robust algorithm for exact inference in 2 x 2 contingency tables. It is based on recursive relations allowing efficient computation of odds-ratio estimates, confidence limits and p-values for Fisher's test. A factor of 3 10 is gained in terms of computer time compared with th
A modified exact test is proposed for 2 x 2 contingency tables. This test, which is based on a lees connervative definition of the concept of significance (STONE, 106s) is compared with a modified form of Pearson's X\* test and with Tocher's randomized exact (UMPU) test. The sizes of the new test li
