Tests of Independence in Contingency Tables with Small Samples: A Comparison of Statistical Power.
Parshall, Cynthia G.; Kromrey, Jeffrey D.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v56 n1 p26-44 Feb 1996
Power and Type I error rates were estimated for contingency tables with small sample sizes for the following four types of tests: (1) Pearson's chi-square; (2) chi-square with Yates's continuity correction; (3) the likelihood ratio test; and (4) Fisher's Exact Test. Various marginal distributions, sample sizes, and effect sizes were examined. (SLD)
