Analysis of two-category data from small independent samples
Abstract:
An exact probability test for the comparison of cure-rate (or any other 2-category response variable) among three treatments is presented in detail; Extension of the method to larger contingency tables is also shown. It is suggested that the exact method should be used if the sample size for a particular investigation is small and/or when the chisquare test gives a probability level near borderline statistical significance.

Introduction to Test of Independence
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:

One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
