Hello,
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but I want to make sure I
have a full understanding of this.  What I would like to know is what
tests are performed to give the p-values for each variable in the table
that is the result of coxph regression when the variables are
categorical only.

More specifically, when expected counts are less than 5 is the Fisher's
exact test used instead of the Chi^2 test?

Many thanks
Dan
