The Wilson score confidence interval with continuity correction for the binomial probability

Description

Described in Chapter 2 "The 1x2 Table and the Binomial Distribution"

Usage

Wilson_score_CI_CC_1x2(X, n, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

X	the number of successes
n	the total number of observations
alpha	the nominal level, e.g. 0.05 for 95% CIs

Value
