exact-tests 0.1.0

Accurate and efficient binomial, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and Fisher's exact tests.

exact_tests

This package provides binomial, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and Fisher's exact test functions. (Only 2x2 and 2x3 FET implemented right now; the rest is coming soon.) The functions are accurate and efficient:

• High-precision and interval arithmetic are used to ensure likelihood near-ties are correctly resolved. Log-(mid)p-values are available when you don't want to just round tiny p-values down to zero.

• It's relatively expensive to compute a contingency table's likelihood from scratch, but it's cheap when the likelihood of an adjacent contingency table is known. And it's even cheaper to skip a likelihood calculation when the value must be too small to matter. These functions take advantage of the latter possibilities.

Build instructions
