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 ).

    Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.
    Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971)

    It is possible to make friends with our children—but probably not while they are children.... Friendship is a relationship of mutual dependence-interdependence. A family is a relationship in which some of the participants are dependent on others. It is the job of parents to provide for their children. It is not appropriate for adults to enter into parenthood recognizing they have made a decision to accept dependents and then try to pretend that their children are not dependent on them.
    Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)

    I turn over a new leaf every day. But the blots show through.
    Keith Waterhouse, British screenwriter, Willis Hall, and John Schlesinger. Billy Fisher (Tom Courtenay)

    Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration, losing the exact notion of sincerity, and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose—as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to snivelling and giggles.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is, that it will explain all phenomena.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
