ciALTx: Adjusted Logit-Wald method of CI estimation

In proportion: Inference on Single Binomial Proportion and Bayesian Computations

Description

Adjusted Logit-Wald method of CI estimation

Usage

ciALTx(x, n, alp, h)

Arguments

x	- Number of successes
n	- Number of trials
alp	- Alpha value (significance level required)
h	- Adding factor

Details

Wald-type interval for the logit transformation log(p/1-p) of the parameter p for the modified data eqnx + h and n + (2*h) , where h > 0 and the given x and n.

Value

A dataframe with

x	Number of successes (positive samples)
LALTx	Logit Wald Lower limit
UALTx	Logit Wald Upper Limit
LABB	Logit Wald Lower Abberation
UABB	Logit Wald Upper Abberation
ZWI	Zero Width Interval
