[R] exact logistic regression

[Den]

Dear Dennis
Thank you again
It is funny how stupid I was. I was afraid of the word "inference" in
elrm package description while performing my first search.
elrm package looks like what I need.

They have very good intro with examples 

Zamar D, McNeney B and Graham J. elrm: Software Implementing
     Exact-like Inference for Logistic Regression Models. Journal of
     Statistical Software 2007, 21(3).
http://www.jstatsoft.org/v21/i03

In case if someone else needs to perform exact logistic regression with
R I suggest to read the paper above first. 
The whole idea looks pretty attractive in particular for biomedical
research : binary outcome, small sample size... and smart name of
analysis method:)

With best regards
Denis
