The C Test
The C Test was the original test used to compare two counts, and quoted by most jouirnal and text books. It
is based on the ratio of the two λs under comparison
Przyborowski J and Wilenski H (1940) Homogeneity of results in testing samples
from Poisson series. Biometrika 31:313-323.
The E Test
The E Test is based on a difference between the two λs under comparison, and is marginally more
powerful, but requires extensive computing power because it requires mathematical iteration.
