Confidence intervals for Binomial proportions

This function obtains the confidence interval for a proportion.

ci_p(x, n, conf.level = 0.95, intervalType = "wald")

Arguments

x

a number or a vector with the number of successes.

n

a number or a vector with the number of trials.

conf.level

confidence level for the returned confidence interval. By default is 0.95.

intervalType

type of confidence interval, possible choices are: "wald", "agresti_coull", "rindskopf", "clopper_pearson", "add_4", "arcsine_cc", "arcsine", "arcsine_ac", "wilson", "ci_p_jeffreys", "hpd_jeffreys", "LRT", "mid_p", "agresti_caffo", "score_cc", "wald_cc", "wald_recentered", "wald_recentered_cc",

Value

A dataframe with the input information and the confidence interval.
