BinaryExactCI: Exact Confidence interval for Binary Proportion
Description
This function calculates the exact confidendence interval for a
response rate presented by \(n\) and \(r\).
Usage
BinaryExactCI(r, n, alpha = 0.05, drop = TRUE)
Value
100 (1-\(\alpha\))% exact confidence interval for given
response rate
Arguments
- r
Number of success or responder
- n
Sample size
- alpha
confidence level
- drop
Determines if drop
will be called on the result
Details
Confidence intervals are obtained by a procedure first given in
Clopper and Pearson (1934). This guarantees that the confidence
level is at least (1-\(\alpha\)).
Details can be found in the publication listed below.
