Calculates the difference between proportions and standard error according to method Agresti-Caffo

Description

propdiff_ac Calculates the difference between proportions and standard error according to method Agresti-Caffo.

Usage

propdiff_ac(y, x, formula, data)

Arguments

y	0-1 binary response variable.
x	0-1 binary independent variable.
formula	A formula object to specify the model as normally used by glm.
data	An objects of class milist, created by df2milist, list2milist or mids2milist.

Details

As output the differences between proportions according to Agresti-Caffo and Wald are provided. The Agresti-Caffo difference is used in the function pool_propdiff_ac to derive the Agresti-Caffo confidence intervals. For the pooled difference between proportions the difference between proportions according to Wald are used.

Value

The difference between proportions, the standard error according to Agresti-Caffo and complete data degrees of freedom (dfcom) as n-1.
