Exact method of CI estimation

1	ciEXx(x, n, alp, e)

`x`	- Number of sucess
`n`	- Number of trials
`alp`	- Alpha value (significance level required)
`e`	- Exact method indicator in [0, 1] 1: Clopper Pearson, 0.5: Mid P

Confidence interval for p (for the given x and n), based on inverting equal-tailed binomial tests with null hypothesis H0: p = p0 and calculated from the cumulative binomial distribution. Exact two sided P-value is usually calculated as

P= 2[e*Pr(X = x) + min({Pr(X < x), Pr(X > x)})]

where probabilities are found at null value of p and 0 <= e <= 1.

A dataframe with

`x`	- Number of successes (positive samples)
`LEXx`	- Exact Lower limit
`UEXx`	- Exact Upper Limit

prop.test and binom.test for equivalent base Stats R functionality, binom.confint provides similar functionality for 11 methods, wald2ci which provides multiple functions for CI calculation , binom.blaker.limits which calculates Blaker CI which is not covered here and propCI which provides similar functionality.
