Calculates the Agresti-Coull interval (created by Alan Agresti and Brent Coull) by (for 95% CI) adding two successes and two failures to the data and then using the Wald formula to construct a CI.

Usage

ci_prop_agresti_coull(x, conf.level = 0.95, data = NULL)

Arguments

x

(binary/numeric/logical)
vector of a binary values, i.e. a logical vector, or numeric with values c(0, 1)

conf.level

(scalar numeric)
a scalar in (0,1) indicating the confidence level. Default is 0.95

data

(data.frame)
Optional data frame containing the variables specified in x and by.

$$ \left( \frac{\tilde{p} + z^2_{\alpha/2}/2}{n + z^2_{\alpha/2}} \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\tilde{p}(1 - \tilde{p})}{n} + \frac{z^2_{\alpha/2}}{4n^2}} \right)$$
