conf: Visualization and Analysis of Statistical Measures of Confidence

Description

Enables:

1. confidence region plots in two-dimensions corresponding to a user given dataset, level of significance, and parametric probability distribution (supported distribution suffixes: cauchy, gamma, invgauss, lnorm, llogis, logis, norm, unif, weibull),

2. coverage simulations (if a point of interest is within or outside of a confidence region boundary) for either random samples drawn from a user-specified parametric distribution or for a user-specified dataset and point of interest, and

3. calculating confidence intervals and the associated actual coverage for binomial proportions.

Details

This package includes the functions:

• confidence region plots: crplot,

• confidence region coverage analysis: coversim,

• confidence intervals for binomial proportions: binomTest,

• actual coverage calculation for binomial proportions: binomTestCoverage,

• actual coverage plots for binomial proportions: binomTestCoveragePlot, and

• ensemble confidence intervals for binomial proportions: binomTestEnsemble.

Vignettes

The CRAN website https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=conf contains links for vignettes on the crplot and coversim functions.
