In WarrRich/LCMBounds: Confidence Intervals for a Linear Combination of Multinomial Probabilities

Finds an exact confindence interval for a linear combination of multinomial probabilities

Description

Finds an exact confindence interval for a linear combination of multinomial probabilities

Usage

LCMBounds(
  Lhat,
  weights,
  samplesizes,
  alpha.upper = 0.025,
  alpha.lower = alpha.upper,
  rand.samps = 20,
  opt.samps = 20,
  mass = 1,
  power.of.2 = TRUE
)

Arguments

Lhat	Observed value of a linear combination of multinomial probabilities that needs a confidence interval (a scalar).
weights	A list of numeric vectors that correspond to the multinomial probabilities.
samplesizes	A numeric vector of length K, each entry in the vector cooresponds to the sample sizes for the K multinomial experiements.
alpha.upper	The amount of probability outside the upper limit of the confidence interval (this produces a (1-alpha.upper-alpha.lower)% CI).
alpha.lower	The amount of probability outside the lower limit of the confidence interval.
rand.samps	A scalar which directs the alogrithm on how many random samples to try before beginning the optimizing stage.
opt.samps	A scalar which directs the alogrithm on how many optimizing steps to make.
mass	A scalar tuning parameter. It is not recommended to change it from the default.
power.of.2	A logical tuning parameter. It is not recommended to change it from the default.

Examples

Lhat <- 7.8
weightsA <- list(c(0,1,1),c(2,0,3),c(5,3,0))
samplesizes <- c(20,20,20)
LCMBounds(Lhat,weightsA,samplesizes)
