PropCIs (version 0.1-6)

PropCIs-package: Computes confidence intervals for proportions in a 2x2 table

Description

Computes confidence intervals for single proportions, for differences in proportions, for an odds-ratio and for the relative risk in a 2x2 table. Intervals available for independent samples and matched pairs. The functions are written by Alan Agresti and students, see http://www.stat.ufl.edu/~aa/cda/cda.html.
