R help - Mar 2004 - significance testing under sampling from small finite populations

Dear All,

Are there recommended functions to test for (exact) significance when the
samples are drawn from small finite populations (which sometimes are not much
bigger than the sample)?

I am looking for 

- differences in central tendency
- differences of proportions
- difference in distributions

My current application would be on unpaired comparision of discrete
(6-valued) questionaire data, but I would also appreciate pointers to functions
for
continuous data or paired comparisions.


Thanks for any help
Best regards


Jens Oehlschl?gel
