pool_propdiff_nw {miceafter}

Calculates the pooled difference between proportions and confidence intervals according to Newcombe-Wilson (NW) across multiply imputed datasets.

Description

pool_propdiff_nw Calculates the pooled difference between proportions and confidence intervals according to Newcombe-Wilson (NW) across multiply imputed datasets.

Usage

pool_propdiff_nw(object, conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

object

An object of class 'mistats' ('Multiply Imputed Statistical Analysis'.).

conf.level

Confidence level of the confidence intervals. Mostly set at 0.95.

Details

The pool_propdiff_nw function uses information from separate exposure groups. It is therefore important to first use the propdiff_wald function and to set strata = TRUE in that function.

Value

The Proportion and the Confidence intervals according to Newcombe-Wilson.
