Please note that the minimum expected value for a chi-squared test to be appropriate is 10 not 5, in the particular case where there is only one degree of freedom (see any responsible stats cookbook). This was correct in earlier versions of the page and I have put it back now. seglea 21:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
In Bob Moore. (2004) On Log-Likelihood-Ratios and the Significance of Rare Events. In Proc. of the ACL 2004., Moore shows that Fischer's exact is not really prohibitively more expensive to compute than Chi-square. In light of this, the introductory paragraph suggesting that its computational complexity is a major consideration may deserve some qualification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.245.148 (talk) 21:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
