Abstract: | Summary The so-called Exact Test of R. A. Fisher for comparing two probabilitiesp
1 andp
2 in a Fourfold-Table with small cell frequencies is known as a UMPU-Test. But in practice the test is used in a nonrandomized,
often tabulated version.
Given a certain level of significanceα it is shown: the critical region of this nonrandomized test, referred to as “Fisher 1”, can be enlarged considerably. For
instance for all sample-size-sums up to 20 andα=0.01 the total number of points in the critical regions of “Fisher 1” is 552 whereas the analogous number of the new version
“Fisher 2” is 788. The size of tables for “Fisher 2” can be reduced considerably because the main parts of the critical regions
can be described by the aid of some Chi-square-test versions. In particular Yates’ continuity-correction turns out to be always
conservative in the above mentioned region relative to “Fisher 2” whereas this is not strictly true relative to “Fisher 1”.
