Description

Wald-T method of CI estimation

Usage

1
ciTW(n, alp)

Arguments

n

- Number of trials

alp

- Alpha value (significance level required)

Details

An approximate method based on a t_approximation of the standardized point estimator for all x = 0, 1, 2 ..n; that is the point estimator divided by its estimated standard error. Essential boundary modification is when x = 0 or n,

\hat{p}=\frac{(x+2)}{(n+4)}

Value

A dataframe with

x

- Number of successes (positive samples)

LTW

- Wald-T Lower limit

UTW

- Wald-T Upper Limit

LABB

- Wald-T Lower Abberation

UABB

- Wald-T Upper Abberation

ZWI

- Zero Width Interval
