Build confidence intervals for binomial proportions using the Feldman-Cousins construction (Feldman and Cousins, 1998).
confint_binom(n, N, cl = 0.95, acc = 0.001)number of successes. Numeric vector of length one.
number of trials. Numeric vector of length one.
confidence level for the returned confidence interval. A number between zero and one.
required accuracy in the confidence interval endpoints. A positive number.
a numeric vector of length two, containing the confidence interval endpoints.
More details on the Feldman-Cousins construction can be found in the documentation page of confint_pois.
