Create a visual Fisher's Exact plot in a few simple clicks in the R2 Genomics Analysis & Visualization platform ( https://r2.amc.nl ). Just see the whole process in action in the illustration below. The Fisher's Exact test is often used to demonstrate whether the proportions of 2 different categorical variables are equal to the expectation. A significant p-value then informs you that this is unlikely (when used as a 2-sided test). Within R2, we add a visual element to such a test, where you can see the different groups in the contingency table as separate dots. These dots, are linked to actual samples in the data set, and can thus also be decorated using their meta data (color by a grouping variable), or even by the expression of any gene. As such you can add another layer in your interpretation. Just have a look at the animation above on how you can easily use this powerful option within the R2platform. The R2 open access online data science platform, designed for biomedic...
