Not sure why we need two articles so similar—G716 <^T·_C> 01:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The text of the two articles isn't that similar, though they both need work. The topics aren't synonymous—'exact statistics' is a broader topic than 'exact test' as the former includes exact confidence intervals. Exact tests are a more straightforward topic than exact confidence intervals and usually encountered first so there may be merit in separate articles. So perhaps we could have an article on 'exact tests', one on 'exact confidence intervals', and a shorter one on 'exact statistics' introducing both? --Qwfp (talk) 10:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The articles aren't similar, I'm with Qwfp on this one. 98.221.85.188 (talk) 14:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
