Hypergeometric Distribution - Relationship To Fisher's Exact Test

Relationship To Fisher's Exact Test

The test (see above) based on the hypergeometric distribution (hypergeometric test) is identical to the corresponding one-tailed version of Fisher's exact test ). Reciprocally, the p-value of a two-sided Fisher's exact test can be calculated as the sum of two appropriate hypergeometric tests (for more information see ).

    “Sometimes in our relationship to another human being the proper balance of friendship is restored when we put a few grains of impropriety onto our own side of the scale.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “People ask me: “Why do you write about food, and eating, and drinking? Why don’t you write about the struggle for power and security, and about love, the way the others do?”... The easiest answer is to say that, like most other humans, I am hungry.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    “... the compensation for a death sentence is knowledge of the exact hour when one is to die. A great luxury, but one that is well earned.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
    [sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.”
    —Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
