Since a 2x2 table with fixed row and column margins has only one degree of
freedom, it is pretty easy to enumerate them:
A B
A a c M[3]
B b d M[4]
M[1] M[2] N
Create a vector of the margins:
M <- c(a+b, c+d, a+c, b+d)
The number of possible tables is min(M[c(1, 3)])+1 since a cannot be larger
than the first column margin or the first row margin. The +1 recognizes that a
can be 0.
Given any vector M of marginal values, the 2x2 tables are as follows:
M <- c(8, 9, 9, 8) # For example
M[1]+M[2]==M[3]+M[4] # Check to make sure these are valid margins
TRUE
all.2x2s <- t(sapply(0:min(M[c(1,3)]), function(i) c(a=i, b=M[1] - i,
c=M[3] - i, d=M[4] - M[1] + i)))
all.2x2s
a b c d
[1,] 0 8 9 0
[2,] 1 7 8 1
[3,] 2 6 7 2
[4,] 3 5 6 3
[5,] 4 4 5 4
[6,] 5 3 4 5
[7,] 6 2 3 6
[8,] 7 1 2 7
[9,] 8 0 1 8

If the reason you want this is to sample them then r2dtable can do
that directly.
