Table 7. For a 3 × 5 contingency table, frequency (Freq) and proportion (Prop) of simulated data having at least one cell is significant based on either TAdjR or exact p-value, from a total of 2 million simulations.

ΓAsy and ΓExact are the number of cells with significant p-values by using the asymptotic approach and the exact approach, respectively.
