Dear R-pros I have a problem, for which usually I would apply a chisq.test or a fisher.test:
40 objects, each given either a "0" or "1", regarding if this object later on will be remembered by a subject or not. 7 subjects investigated means: we have a 2x40 matrix, each cell the number of subjects for who the object i has been given either "0" or "1" e.g. objects: 1 1 3 39 40 ------------------------------------------ "0" 1 2 2 .. 7 7 "1" 4 4 5 .. 0 0 over all 40 objects, we have 67% of "1" and 33% of "0" I want to know, if for the 40 objects, the ratio of "0"/"1" differs or not, i.e. if they have the same distribution. I cannot use a chisq.test since the expected frequencies are < 5 for the "0" cells. Fisher.test seems to run for > 12h on a PIV 1.8GHz... what do you recommend me to do?
