poisLikSI: Poisson support interval calculation

In supportInt: Calculates Likelihood Support Intervals for Common Data Types

Description

This function takes Poisson data and using a root finding algorithm to calculate the support interval at the user's specified level. If conf=T, the function will attempt to estimate the confidence level of the support interval using a parametric bootstrap approach.

Usage

poisLikSI(dat, level, tol = 0.001, conf = F, B = 500)

Arguments

dat	Numeric; outcome from a Poisson experiment
level	Desired support level
tol	tolerance argument passed to uniroot for finding SI endpoints
conf	Logical; Whether or not to simulate the confidence level of the SI
B	Number of simulations to determine coverage if conf=T

Value

si	1/level support interval
conf.equiv	estimated confidence level of interval returned
