Bayesian Fisher's Exact Test
The Bayesian Fisher's exact test evaluates independence between two categorical variables in a 2x2 table by computing a Bayes factor rather than a p-value. Using conjugate priors on cell probabilities — most commonly the Gunel-Dickey framework — it quantifies how much the observed data favor an association model over an independence model, providing a continuous scale of evidence in both directions.
