| wilson.phi {diffdepprop} | R Documentation |
wilson.phi gives a two-sided Wilson confidence interval with continuity correction for the difference of two dependent proportions. Data are assumed to be of a fourfold table, which contains the numbers of concordance and the numbers of discordance of two dependent methods. The continuity correction is performed to the estimated phi which is calculated by the entries of the fourfold table.
