ci.bootstrap: Approximate Bootstrap Confidence Interval (ABC)

In mnel/dsrci: Confidence Intervals on Directly Standardized Rates for Several Parameterizations

Description

Confidence intervals for directly standardized rates using the approximate bootstrap method derived by Swift (1995)

Usage

ci.bootstrap(x, w, level, ...)

Arguments

x	a vector of counts
w	a vector of weights
level	the level of confidence
...	currently ignored

Value

a vector with the lower and upper bound of the confidence interval.The estimate of the directly standardised rate and the level of confidence are returned as attributes this vector
