Fisher's Exact with mid-P method

Fisher's Exact mid-P method to test row/col independence of a 2x2 contingency table.

You are now following this Submission

It is a non-parametric statistical test for discrete data used to
determine if there are nonrandom associations between the two variables.
Mid-P values are a reasonable compromise between the conservativeness of
the ordinary exact test and the uncertain adequacy of large-sample methods.
Mid-P values usually performs well, typically being a bit conservative,
and is currently recommended by many leading statisticians.

Input:
X: data matrix (2x2-table) of observed counts
tail: The alternative hypothesis against which to compute p-values.
Choices are:
'ne' 2-Tail (default)
'gt' Right tail: the alternative to independence is that there is positive association between the variables.
'lt' Left tail: the alternative hypothesis is that there is negative association between the variables

Output:
P-value

Use: P = FisherExtest(Observed,'ne')
