R. A. Fisher's Exact Test Revisited
This note provides a conceptual clarification of Ronald Aylmer Fisher's (1935) pioneering exact test in the context of the Lady Testing Tea experiment. It unveils a critical implicit assumption in Fisher's calibration: the taster minimizes expected misclassification given fixed probabilistic information. Without similar assumptions or an explicit alternative hypothesis, the rationale behind Fisher's specification of the rejection region remains unclear.

Using Fisher's Exact Test to Evaluate Association Measures for N-grams
To determine whether some often-used lexical association measures assign high scores to n-grams that chance could have produced as frequently as observed, we used an extension of Fisher's exact test to sequences longer t…
