Docstring for FisherExactTest is misleading

Open Waldwicht opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

The docstring for the FisherExactTest is misleading as "success probabilities" usually refers to a/(a+c) (i.e. successes/total attempts).

It should just say "success probabilitiesa/(a+c) and b/(b+d)" then...
