Antw: Re: Confidence interval for the difference between proportions - method used in prop.test()
Dear Josh,
Thanks for your help!
Does your answer mean, that you agree the two methods should do the same, and what I was guessing, despite the small differences?
What I prefer about ci.pd is, that the help clearly says which method is implemented, which is not the case for prop.test. But I do not know who has programmed the function.
Best wishes

Confidence interval for the difference between proportions - method used in prop.test()
Hello,
Does anyone know which method from Newcombe (1998)* is implemented in prop.test for comparing two proportions?
I would guess it is the method based on the Wilson score (for single proportion), with and without continuity correction for prop.test(..., correct=FALSE) and prop.test(..., correct=TRUE). These methods would correspond to no. 10 and 11 tested in Newcombe, respectively. Can
