prop_test.numeric {catfun}

Tests for equality of proportions

Description

Conduct 1-sample tests of proportions and tests for equality of k proportions.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
prop_test(x, n, p = 0.5, method = c("wald", "wilson",
  "agresti-couli", "jeffreys", "modified wilson", "wilsoncc",
  "modified jeffreys", "clopper-pearson", "arcsine", "logit", "witting",
  "pratt"), alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
  conf.level = 0.95, correct = FALSE, exact = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a vector of counts.

n

a vector of counts of trials

p

a probability for the null hypothesis when testing a single proportion; ignored if comparing multiple proportions.

method

a character string indicating method for calculating confidence interval, default is "wald". Options include, wald, wilson, agresti-couli, jeffreys, modified wilson, wilsoncc modified jeffreys, clopper-pearson, arcsine, logit, witting, and pratt.

alternative

character string specifying the alternative hypothesis. Possible options are "two.sided" (default), "greater", or "less".

conf.level

confidence level for confidence interval, default is 0.95.

correct

a logical indicating whether Yate's continuity correction should be applied.

exact

a logical indicating whether to output exact p-value, ignored if k-sample test.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

a list with class "prop_test" containing the following components:

x

number of successes

n

number of trials

p

null proportion

statistic

the value of Pearson's chi-squared test statistic

p_value

p-value corresponding to chi-squared test statistic

df

degrees of freedom

method

the method used to calculate the confidence interval

method_ci

confidence interval calculated using specified method

exact_ci

exact confidence interval

exact_p

p-value from exact test

Examples

prop_test(7, 50, method = "wald", p = 0.2)
prop_test(7, 50, method = "wald", p = 0.2, exact = TRUE)
