Hmmm, > pchisq(14.62, 1, lower=FALSE) [1] 0.0001315114 so that doesn't seem to be what you are looking for. More likely, what your software is doing is to calculate the exact distribution of the chisquare statistic in the conditional distribution of a 2x2 table given both sets of marginals. Notice that this will depend on the particular table that you are looking at. I suspect this is in one of the packages, but it shouldn't be too hard to code up explicitly using the hypergeometric distribution. The simulate.p.value argument to chisq.test does the same thing but using simulation. > Thanks for your help! > > All the best! > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
