abstract

  • Two approaches, one based on the likelihood-ratio statistic and the other based on unconditioning Fisher's exact test, are examined for obtaining a p-value in the comparison of the combination of arthropod species present on a mystery carcass to the observed frequency distribution of species combinations on carcasses exposed to the elements for a known time interval.
