Abstract: We first analyse the general problem of admissible conditioning and next consider the evaluation of the loss of information when a non-admissible conditioning is used as an approximation of the exact posterior distribution. Considering the case of Fisher test, we evaluate from a Bayesian point of view how much information is lost when the sampling process for a 2x2 contingency table is analysed conditionally on the two margins.
