prop.test() references
Dear R-help,
I'm using prop.test() to compute a confidence interval for a proportion
under R version 2.4.1, as in:
prop.test(x = 340, n = 400)$conf
[1] 0.8103309 0.8827749
I have two questions:
1) from the source code my understanding is that the confidence
interval is computed according to Wilson, E.B. (1927) Probable
inference, the law of succession, and statistical inference.
