Hi All,
 
the online documentation in SPSS 7.5.1 says that a Fisher Exact Test is
performed only for 2 x 2 tables. But in fact the test is performed for my
2x3 table, as well. My statistics textbooks tell me that Fisher Exact Test
can only be used for 2x2 tables. Does a Fisher Exact Test exist for general
r x c tables?
 
Thanks a lot in advance for improving my knowledge in statistics!
 
Best regards,
Karsten
