I am brand new to this mailing list so I apologize in advance for the naivety of my request.
I am looking for an implementation of the Fisher exact test in C/C++, and was somehow hoping to find one in boost.
I have looked at the documentation of boost and and found many statistical tools, but not the one I am looking for. The closest I got was a discussion in the mailing archive in 2008 on the use of the hypergeometric distribution to perform such implementation Was any progress made since then ? Could I now get the cdf, pmf and sf from an hypergeometric distribution ? or even better a Fisher exact test directly ?
There's no direct test (but if you'd like to submit one as an example that would be great!), the hypergeometric is in Boost.Math now: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_too... and I believe supports all the operations you need to conduct the test. HTH, John.
