fisher.test(y) Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data data: y p-value = 0.0005367 alternative hypothesis: true odds ratio is not equal to 1 95 percent confidence interval: 2.753438 300.682787 sample estimates: odds ratio 21.30533 The crude odds ratio in Fisher's paper is 25 and the lower 95%CI is 2.750. How come this is different here? Why is the estimate 21.30533 and how is the confidence limits calculated (is there a reference for a statistical paper other than that of Fisher)? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Confidence-Limits-for-a-Cross-Product-Ratio-tp24320301p24320301.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.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.
