Wald confidence interval for the ratio of two Poisson variables
Wald confidence interval for the ratio of two Poisson variables.
wald.poisrat(x, y, alpha = 0.05) col.waldpoisrat(x, y, alpha = 0.05)
x |
A numeric vector or a matrix with count data. |
y |
A numeric vector or a matrix with count data. |
alpha |
The 1 - confidence level. The default value is 0.05. |
wald confidence interval for the ratio of two Poisson means is/are calculated.
For the wald.poisrat a vector with three elements, the ratio and the lower and upper confidence interval limits. For the col.waldpoisrat a matrix with three columns, the ratio and the lower and upper confidence interval limits.
