PriceBonett_approximate_Bayes_CI_2x2 {contingencytables}

The Price-Bonett approximate Bayes confidence interval for the ratio of probabilities

Description

The Price-Bonett approximate Bayes confidence interval for the ratio of probabilities

Described in Chapter 4 "The 2x2 Table"

Usage

PriceBonett_approximate_Bayes_CI_2x2(n, a = 1.25, b = 2.5, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

n

the observed counts (a 2x2 matrix)

a, b

parameters of the beta distribution

alpha

the nominal level, e.g. 0.05 for 95# CIs

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.
