Abstract

In this chapter we introduce basic material on exact tests of discrete exponential family models, in contrast to the more traditional large-sample tests. As a primary example we use the independence model of two-way contingency tables. As a more complicated example, we also discuss the conditional independence model of three-way contingency tables. Finally we introduce a general notation for multi-way contingency tables and hierarchical models for multi-way contingency tables.
