L1prop: Likelihood analysis of the binomial parameter for one sample.

In evidence: Analysis of Scientific Evidence Using Bayesian and Likelihood Methods

Description

When given the number of “successes” and the sample size this function plots the normed likelihood of values of the binomial parameter π and calculates the likelihood ratio for a hypothesized value and the maximum likelihood value for the sample, as well as an approximate frequentist p-value.

Usage

L1prop(x, n, p.hypoth, pLset=0.05)

Arguments

x	the number of sampling units with the feature
n	the number of sampling units examined
p.hypoth	the hypothesized probability
pLset	the desired likelihood for the likelihood interval

Value

none, the normed likelihood for different values of the binomial probability is plotted with the likelihood interval, and some information is printed
