Binomial confidence limits

Calculates binomial confidence limits using the Wilson approximation.

binciW(x,n,alpha=0.05,cc=FALSE)

Arguments

x

The number of successes or failures for which the CI is to be calculated.

n

The number of trials as above.

alpha

The desired coverage - 0.05 produces 95 percent coverage

cc

Whether to apply a continuity correction

Details

binciW calculates binomial confidence limits for the given number of successes and trials. It is mainly to allow binomial confidence limits to be calculated in the brkdnNest function, which is why the upper and lower CIs are called separately.

Value

The lower and upper binomial confidence limits
