In aylmer: A generalization of Fisher's exact test

Description

A tally of wins and losses for games between three chess players: Topalov, Anand, Karpov

Usage

data(chess)

Details

The players are:

• Grandmaster Veselin Topalov. FIDE world champion 2005-2006; peak rating 2813

• Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand. FIDE world champion 2000-2002, 2008; peak rating 2799

• Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov. FIDE world champion 1993-1999; peak rating 2780

Observe that Topalov beats Anand, Anand beats Karpov, and Karpov beats Topalov (here, “beats” means “wins more games than”).

The games thus resemble a noisy version of “rock paper scissors”.
