ciCASx: Continuity corrected ArcSine method of CI estimation

In RajeswaranV/proportion: Inference on Single Binomial Proportion and Bayesian Computations

Continuity corrected ArcSine method of CI estimation

Description

Continuity corrected ArcSine method of CI estimation

Usage

ciCASx(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 arcsine transformation using the test statistic (abs(sin^(-1)phat-sin^(-1)p)-c)/SE where c > 0 is a constant for continuity correction and for all x = 0, 1, 2 ..n

Value

A dataframe with

x	Number of successes (positive samples)
LCAx	ArcSine Lower limit
UCAx	ArcSine Upper Limit
LABB	ArcSine Lower Abberation
UABB	ArcSine Upper Abberation
ZWI	Zero Width Interval
