Fishers Exact Test in JMP Pro

shapirodjs0 — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 18:11:02 GMT

JMP Pro is reported to have the ability to perform the Fishers Exact test on tables larger then 2x2. In the case of a 2x2 table if the numbers are small the exact test is generated automatically (both in the regular and pro version). How do I access the Fishers Exact test in Pro when the table is larger than 2x2 (3x2 or larger)

It should be in red triangle menu for the Contingency Analysis.

Thank you. Ultimately the issue was that I had 2 versions of JMP installed on the same computer. What I found was that when I tried to open JMP-PRO it always defaulted to the basic JMP version installed. I removed the basic JMP software and was able to use the Pro version that has the feature.

Please provide me with a citation for using Fisher's Exact Test on a table larger than 2 x 2? Thanks.
