Richard has multinomial data: four categories with expected counts. There is no such thing as a Fisher Exact Test for multinomial data; Fisher's test is for two-way tables, and tests the hypothesis of independence. Richard wants to test the fit of the observed data to the expected. He needs Ben Jann's -mgof- (from SSC) or the packages listed at the bottom of its help page. -mgof- uses simulation to approximate the exact distributions of the Pearson Chi Square and likelihood-ratio goodness-of-fit tests.

Dear all,

Is there a command or a way to trick -tabulate- to perform a Fisher's exact test when the expected counts are known.

For example the observe counts are:
30 20 15 35

Under the null the expected counts are
20 30 30 20

I want to test this using a fisher exact test.

Thank you,
Ricardo
