ciAWDx: Adjusted Wald method of CI estimation

In proportion: Inference on Single Binomial Proportion and Bayesian Computations

Description

Adjusted Wald method of CI estimation

Usage

ciAWDx(x, n, alp, h)

Arguments

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

Details

Given data x and n are modified as x + h and n + (2*h) respectively, where h > 0 then Wald-type interval is applied for the given x and n.

Value

A dataframe with

x	Number of successes (positive samples)
LAWDx	Adjusted Wald Lower limit
UAWDx	Adjusted Wald Upper Limit
LABB	Adjusted Wald Lower Abberation
UABB	Adjusted Wald Upper Abberation
ZWI	Zero Width Interval
