Table 5: Null hypotheses for Fisher’s, Barnard’s and Chiba’s exact tests.
Exact test Null hypothesis
Fisher Y(1) = Y(0) for all subjects (sharp causal null hypothesis)
Barnard Pr(Y = 1 | X = 1) = Pr(Y = 1 | X = 0)
Chiba n10 = n01(corresponding to the weak causal null hypothesis Pr(Y(1) = 1) = Pr(Y(0) = 1))
