Exact probabilities for first-order and second-order interactions in 2×2×2 contingency tables.

The writers present an algorithm and associated FORTRAN program that calculate the exact probabilities for first- and second-order interactions in 2 × 2 × 2 contingency tables with fixed marginals. They maintain that the use of an arbitrary constant for the initial table and recursively defined valu...

Summary:The writers present an algorithm and associated FORTRAN program that calculate the exact probabilities for first- and second-order interactions in 2 × 2 × 2 contingency tables with fixed marginals. They maintain that the use of an arbitrary constant for the initial table and recursively defined values for all subsequent tables ensures computational speed and accuracy.
