Tiago <[email protected]> is experiencing differences in exact
p-values reported by Stata when compared with StatExact.

> Surprinsingly, when n <=4, my outputs are identical considering a

> Stata implementation, for example).

> However, when I increase the number of observations (n>4) my P-values tend

> 0.05384 in Statxact and 0.05094364 in my Stata implementation).

If Tiago could send me privately more information on the problem he is running
I would be glad to look into the origin of the discrepancy. A specific example
that demonstrates the problem would be very useful.
