R packages - Jun 2007 - New Package: rateratio.test

Hi,

I just uploaded a new package rateratio.test. The package contains one function
of the same name and it performs an exact rate ratio test for Poisson counts. 
Unlike binom.test and fisher.test the p-values and confidence intervals are
internally consistent. In other words, if the p-value implies that the null
hypothesis should be rejected, then the confidence interval also implies that
the null should be rejected. There is a vignette discussing this issue.
