Description

Continuity corrected Logit-Wald method of CI estimation

Usage

1
ciCLTx(x, n, alp, c)

Arguments

x

- Number of successes

n

- Number of trials

alp

- Alpha value (significance level required)

c

- Continuity correction

Details

Wald-type interval for the logit transformation of the parameter p using the test statistic (abs(L(phat)-L(p))-c)/SE where c > 0 is a constant for continuity correction and L(y) = log(y/1-y) for all x = 0, 1, 2 ..n. Boundary modifications when x = 0 or x = n using Exact method values.

Value

A dataframe with

x

Number of successes (positive samples)

LCLTx

Logit Wald Lower limit

UCLTx

Logit Wald Upper Limit

LABB

Logit Wald Lower Abberation

UABB

Logit Wald Upper Abberation

ZWI

Zero Width Interval
