Elementary question about computing confidence intervals.
I would have thought this to be relatively elementary, but I can't find it
mentioned in any of my stats texts.
Please consider the following:
library(fitdistrplus)
fp = fitdist(y,"exp");
rate = fp$estimate;
sd = fp$sd
fOneWeek = exp(-rate*7); #fraction that happens within a week - y is
measured in days
fr = exp(-rate*dt); #fraction remaining - dt = elapsed time from time of
sample to present
fh = 1 - fr; # fraction that occurred from time of sample to present
# assume n = total number that have happened from time...
