Description

This package performs Barnard's (1945, 1947) or Boschloo's (1970) unconditional exact tests using the exact.test function. This package also includes the power.exact.test function to calculate the power of various tests and the exact.reject.region to determine the rejection region of a test for a given sample size.

Details

Unconditional exact tests are a more powerful alternative than conditional exact tests. This package can compute p-values, confidence intervals, and power calculations for various tests. Details of the tests are given in the exact.test documentation.

Note

Thoughout the years I have received help while creating this package. Special thanks goes to Philo Calhoun, Tal Galili, Kamil Erguler, Roger Berger, Karl Hufthammer, and the R community.
