I did use library(binom). However, I was able to use the method "lrt" which is short for likelihood ratio test. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Lemon [mailto:drjimle...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2018 11:50 PM To: Guo, Fang (Associate) <fa...@cornerstone.com>; r-help mailing list <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: Re: [R] Question on Binom.Confint
Hi Fang, Let's assume that you are using the "binom.confint" function in the "binom" package and you have made a spelling mistake or two. This function employs nine methods for estimating the binomial confidence interval. Sadly, none of these is "lrt". The zero condition is discussed in the help page for four of these methods. Assuming you want to use another method, you will have to look up the method. A good start is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion_confidence_interval Jim On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 11:38 AM Guo, Fang (Associate) <fa...@cornerstone.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a question with the function Binom.Confint(x,n,"method"=lrt).
