Fisher's exact test in ctable()?

[AntoineSoetewey]

Dear @dcomtois,

First of all, thanks a lot for this great package!

I often use the ctable() function for contingency tables and the Chi-square test of independence, withe the argument chisq = TRUE.

This is not a surprise, for small sample sizes (i.e., expected value < 5) it is recommended to use the Fisher's exact test. I have not seen the possibility to choose this test when using ctable(). Did I miss it in the documentation? If not, is this something you would consider adding in the future?

Regards,
Antoine

I echo this suggestion. Actually, I don't use Fisher typically, preferring the unconditional (higher power) Boschloo from the exact2x2 package, so it would be great to have a way to specify own test supporting the good-old syntax of the classic chisq.test or fisher.test (ideally if additional parameters could be passed to this function, as there are several additional options, important in small samples).
