Description

Agresti-Coull CI for a binomial proportion based on adding z^2/2 successes and z^2/2 failures before computing the Wald CI. The CI is truncated, when it overshoots the boundary.

Usage

addz2ci(x, n, conf.level)

Arguments

x

number of successes

n

number of trials

conf.level

confidence coefficient

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

conf.int

The confidence intervall for the proportion

estimate

The estimator for the proportion
