Lower binomial confidence limit

Description

Calculates a lower binomial confidence limit using the Wilson approximation.

Usage

 binciWl(x,n,alpha=0.05,trueval=TRUE,na.rm=TRUE)

Arguments

x

The number of successes or failures for which the CI is to be calculated.

n

The number of trials as above.

alpha

The desired coverage - 0.05 produces 95 percent coverage

trueval

The value representing the outcome of interest for the CI.

na.rm

Argument needed to make this work

Details

binciWl calculates the lower binomial confidence limit for the given number of successes and trials. It is mainly to allow binomial confidence limits to be calculated in the brkdnNest function, which is why the upper and lower CIs are calculated separately.

Value

The lower binomial confidence limit
