exact.cond {diffdepprop} R Documentation

## Calculates an exact conditional confidence interval using a Clopper Pearson interval.

### Description

exact.cond gives a two-sided exact conditinal confidence interval for the difference of two dependent proportions. It is built of a Clopper Pearson Interval. Data are assumed to be of a fourfold table, which contains the numbers of concordance and the numbers of discordance of two dependent methods.

### Usage

exact.cond(b, c, n, alpha)


### Arguments

 b first number of discordant pairs in a fourfold table as described above c second number of discordant pairs in a fourfold table as described above n number of observed objects alpha type I error; between zero and one

### Value

A list with class '"htest"' containing the following components:

 conf.int  a confidence interval for the difference in proportions estimate  estimated difference in proportions
