confidence_binomial: Confidence Interval for Binomial Proportions

Description

Computes a Wald interval for a proportion at a desired level of significance.

Usage

confidence_binomial(object, ...)
# S4 method for numeric
confidence_binomial(
  object,
  n,
  level = 0.95,
  method = "wald",
  corrected = FALSE
)

Value

A length-two numeric vector giving the lower and upper confidence limits.

Arguments

object

A numeric vector giving the number of success.

...

Currently not used.

n

A length-one numeric vector giving the number of trials.

level

A length-one numeric vector giving the confidence level. Must be a single number between \(0\) and \(1\).

method

A character string specifying the method to be used. Any unambiguous substring can be used.

corrected

A logical scalar: should continuity correction be used? Only used if method is "wald".
