Confidence Interval for a Difference of Binomials

Description

Calculate confidence interval for a risk difference.

Usage

BinomDiffCI(x1, n1, x2, n2, conf.level = 0.95,
            method = c("wald", "waldcor", "ac", "exact", "newcombe",
                       "newcombecor", "fm", "ha"))

Arguments

x1

number of successes for the first group.

n1

number of trials for the first group.

x2

number of successes for the second group.

n2

number of trials for the second group.

conf.level

confidence level, defaults to 0.95.

method

one out of "wald", "waldcor", "ac", "exact", "newcombe", "newcombecor", "fm", "ha".

Details

Still to follow. Methods "newcombecor", "fm", "ha" are not implemented yet.

Value

A vector with 3 elements for estimate, lower confidence intervall and upper for the upper one.
