Likelihood Interval of the Mean assuming Poisson Distribution
Description
Likelihood interval of lambda assuming Poisson distribution.
Usage
LIpois(x, k, conf.level=0.95, eps=1e-8)
Arguments
x |
mean or lambda, the count in a time unit. |
k |
1/k likelihood interval will be calculated |
conf.level |
approximately corresponding confidence level. If k is specified, this is ignored. |
eps |
Values less than eps are considered as 0. |
Details
It calculates likelihood interval of mean(lambda) assuming Poisson distribution. The likelihood interval is asymmetric and there is no standard error in the output.
Value
PE |
point estimation for the lambda |
LL |
lower limit of likelihood interval |
UL |
upper limit of likelihood interval |
