Robust Fisher's exact test

The robust Fisher's exact test extends Fisher's classic exact test for contingency tables by applying conservative-correcting adjustments — most commonly the mid-p correction — to reduce the extreme conservatism of the standard exact test. This produces better-calibrated Type I error rates while maintaining validity in small and sparse samples.
