wilson {diffdepprop} | R Documentation |
wilson gives a two-sided Wilson confidence interval for the difference of two dependent proportions. There is no continuity correction performed. Data are assumed to be of a fourfold table, which contains the numbers of concordance and the numbers of discordance of two dependent methods.
