Does anyone know how to do the pairwise comparison for Fisher's exact test?

 

Thanks,

Provide some example data and the research question. Fisher has more than one test.

But I might guess that you want proc freq with an Exact statement and the Fisher option. You may need to make sure your data is in the correct structure.

group1 gorup2 goup3
A 7 6 11
B 3 3 6
C 15 1 7
D 0 0 4
E 13 8 14
F 10 2 3

 

Here is the data.  All caterogires are nominal. According to the Fisher's exact test, there is a siginificant relashionship between the gorups and the categories A - F.   Unfortunaly, I can not provide the actual measurement. (Does this matter?)  I was wondering if it would be possible to the pari comparisons of these.

 

Thank you,

 exact fisher /mc n=1000000;
run;

you can remove 'mc n=100000' to get the right fisher test,but that  will cost you lots of time.


Monte Carlo Estimate for the Exact Test

Pr <= P 0.0375
99% Lower Conf Limit 0.0370
99% Upper Conf Limit 0.0380

 

therefore, category and group are not independent under alpha=0.05 .
