TL;DR
Algorithms and associated FORTRAN subroutines for the Fisher exact probability test are presented and the use of recursion and an arbitrary initial value ensures computational efficiency.
Abstract
Algorithms and associated FORTRAN subroutines for the Fisher exact probability test are presented. R by C cross-classification tables up to five degrees of freedom are considered. These include the 2 × 2, 3 × 2, 4 × 2, 3 × 3, 5 × 2, and 6 × 2 tables. The use of recursion and an arbitrary initial value ensures computational efficiency.
