Glossary Definition
Last Updated: 2012-04-20
Definition:
A test of the statistical significance of deviations from a theoretically expected binomial distribution of observations into two or more categories. Unlike a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, exact tests are accurate even for data that have few observations in each cell.
