Wald interval with the possibility to adjust according to Agresti, Caffo (2000) for difference in proportions and independent samples. The Agresti-Caffo interval adds 1 to x1 and x2 and adds 2 to n1 and n2.

1	wald2ci(x1, n1, x2, n2, conf.level, adjust)

`x1`	success counts in sample 1
`n1`	sample size in sample 1
`x2`	success counts in sample 2
`n2`	sample size in sample 2
`conf.level`	confidence coefficient
`adjust`	option to adjust the Wald interval to the Agresti-Caffo interval for better performance

If adjust=AC is chosen, the standard Wald interval is modified to the Agresti-Caffo adjusted CI (American Statistician, 2000)

A list with class '"htest"' containing the following components:

`conf.int`	a confidence interval for the difference in proportions.
`estimate`	estimated difference in proportions
