Key Takeaways
Fisher's exact test is a statistical test that uses a 2x2 categorical data design. It is used to determine whether the proportions of two categorical variables are different from each other. It is a more powerful alternative to the chi-squared test, and is particularly useful when there are small sample sizes.
