ML_estimates_and_CIs_stratified_2x2: Maximum likelihood estimates with CIs of the grouping and strata effects

Description

Maximum likelihood estimates with CIs of the grouping and strata effects

Described in Chapter 10 "Stratified 2x2 Tables and Meta-Analysis"

Usage

ML_estimates_and_CIs_stratified_2x2(n, link = "log", alpha = 0.05)

alpha

the nominal level, e.g. 0.05 for 95% CIs
