choynowski: Choynowski probability map values

Description

Calculates Choynowski probability map values.

Usage

choynowski(n, x, row.names=NULL, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5)

Arguments

n

a numeric vector of counts of cases

x

a numeric vector of populations at risk

row.names

row names passed through to output data frame

tol

accumulate values for observed counts >= expected until value less than tol

Value

• A data frame with columns:
• pmap
  Poisson probability map values: probablility of getting a more ``extreme'' count than actually observed, one-tailed with less than expected and more than expected folded together
• type
  logical: TRUE if observed count less than expected
