Formatting confidence intervals

Description

Format confidence intervals

Usage

formatCI(
  x,
  lower,
  upper,
  show.x = FALSE,
  handler = "sprintf",
  format = "[l;u]",
  degenerated = "asis",
  digits = 2,
  nsmall = digits,
  sep = "",
  reference.pos,
  reference.label = "",
  ...
)

Arguments

x	not used (for compatibility with format)
lower	Numeric vector of lower limits
upper	Numeric vector of upper limits
show.x	Logical. If TRUE show value of x in front of confidence interval.
handler	Function to format numeric values. Default is sprintf, also supported are format and prettyNum
format	Character string in which l will be replaced by the value of the lower limit (argument lower) and u by the value of the upper upper limit. For example, (l,u) yields confidence intervals in round parenthesis in which the upper and lower limits are comma separated. Default is [l;u].
degenerated	String to show when lower==upper. Default is '–'
digits	If handler format or prettyNum used format numeric vectors.
nsmall	If handler format or prettyNum used format numeric vectors.
sep	Field separator
reference.pos	Position of factor reference
reference.label	Label for factor reference
...	passed to handler

Details

The default format for confidence intervals is [lower; upper].

Value

String vector with confidence intervals

Examples

x=ci.mean(rnorm(10))
formatCI(lower=x[3],upper=x[4])
formatCI(lower=c(0.001,-2.8413),upper=c(1,3.0008884))
# change format
formatCI(lower=c(0.001,-2.8413),upper=c(1,3.0008884),format="(l, u)")
# show x
formatCI(x=x$mean,lower=x$lower,upper=x$upper,format="(l, u)",show.x=TRUE)

# change of handler function
l <- c(-0.0890139,0.0084736,144.898333,0.000000001)
u <- c(0.03911392,0.3784706,3338944.8821221,0.00001)
cbind(format=formatCI(lower=l,upper=u,format="[l;u)",digits=2,nsmall=2,handler="format"),
      prettyNum=formatCI(lower=l,upper=u,format="[l;u)",digits=2,nsmall=2,handler="prettyNum"),
      sprintf=formatCI(lower=l,upper=u,format="[l;u)",digits=2,nsmall=2,handler="sprintf"))
