ec.mto {binMto}

Exact conditional test for many-to-one comparisons of proportions

Description

This function calculates the exact distribution of the maximum of test statistics with unpooled variance estimators for the difference of many-to-one comparisons of proportion. Using this, p-values for the max-test are computed.

Usage

ec.mto(n, x, alternative = "less")

Arguments

n

vector of integers specifying the number of trials in each group, where the first value is taken as control

x

vector of integers specifying the number of successes in each group, where the first value is taken as control

alternative

a character string, one of "two.sided", "greater", "less"

Value

a single numeric value, the p.value of the maximum test
