In reporttools: Generate "LaTeX"" Tables of Descriptive Statistics

Compute Chi square or Fisher's exact test

Description

Depending on the value of the smallest expected count compute either a \chi^2 or Fisher's exact test.

Usage

nominalTest(tab, limit.exp = 5)

Arguments

tab	Frequency table, received by applying table() to two nominal variables.
limit.exp	If the smallest expected count is at most limit.exp the p-value of a Fisher test is returned. Otherwise, a \chi^2 test is computed.

Value

A list containing:

p	The computed p-value.
test	A string indicating the test that was used.

Examples

v1 <- as.factor(round(runif(40, 0, 3)))
v2 <- as.factor(round(runif(40, 2, 3)))
tab <- table(v1, v2)
nominalTest(tab)
