The MOVER-R Wilson confidence interval for the ratio of probabilities

Described in Chapter 4 "The 2x2 Table"

MOVER_R_Wilson_CI_ratio_2x2(n, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

n: the observed counts (a 2x2 matrix)
alpha: the nominal level, e.g. 0.05 for 95% CIs

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.

Examples

# An RCT of high vs standard dose of epinephrine (Perondi et al., 2004)
MOVER_R_Wilson_CI_ratio_2x2(perondi_2004)
#> The MOVER-R Wilson CI: estimate = 7.0000 (95% CI 1.1537 to 41.9763)

# The association between CHRNA4 genotype and XFS (Ritland et al., 2007)
MOVER_R_Wilson_CI_ratio_2x2(ritland_2007)
#> The MOVER-R Wilson CI: estimate = 0.0000 (95% CI 0.0000 to 1.0018)
