Concept
Fisher exact
Fisher's exact test computes an exact p-value for association in a 2x2 contingency table, without relying on the large-sample approximations behind the chi-squared test. Reach for it when cell counts are small, which is exactly where chi-squared becomes unreliable.
The rest of “Fisher exact” is a premium feature: every concept in the library gets a precise, practitioner-focused write-up like this one, cross-linked straight from the paper summaries that use it.
