In ocbe-uio/contingencytables: Statistical Analysis of Contingency Tables

The Wald test for the binomial probability (pi)

Description

The Wald test for the binomial probability (pi)

H_0: pi = pi0 vs H_A: pi ~= pi0 (two-sided)

Usage

Wald_test_1x2(X, n, pi0)

Arguments

X	the number of successes
n	the total number of observations
pi0	a given probability

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.

Examples

# The number of 1st order male births (adapted from Singh et al. 2010)
Wald_test_1x2(singh_2010["1st", "X"], singh_2010["1st", "n"], pi0 = 0.1)
# The number of 2nd order male births (adapted from Singh et al. 2010)
Wald_test_1x2(singh_2010["2nd", "X"], singh_2010["2nd", "n"], pi0 = 0.1)
# The number of 3rd order male births (adapted from Singh et al. 2010)
Wald_test_1x2(singh_2010["3rd", "X"], singh_2010["3rd", "n"], pi0 = 0.1)
# The number of 4th order male births (adapted from Singh et al. 2010)
Wald_test_1x2(singh_2010["4th", "X"], singh_2010["4th", "n"], pi0 = 0.1)
# Ligarden et al. (2010)
Wald_test_1x2(ligarden_2010["X"], ligarden_2010["n"], pi0 = 0.1)
