The Wald confidence interval for the difference between paired probabilities

Described in Chapter 8 "The Paired 2x2 Table"

Wald_CI_diff_paired_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

# Airway hyper-responsiveness before and after stem cell transplantation
# (Bentur et al., 2009)
Wald_CI_diff_paired_2x2(bentur_2009)
#> The Wald CI: estimate = -0.2857 (95% CI -0.5197 to -0.0517)

# Complete response before and after consolidation therapy
# (Cavo et al., 2012)
Wald_CI_diff_paired_2x2(cavo_2012)
#> The Wald CI: estimate = -0.0621 (95% CI -0.1184 to -0.0058)
