L1prop function

Likelihood analysis of the binomial parameter for one sample.

When given the number of ``successes'' and the sample size this function plots the normed likelihood of values of the binomial parameter $\pi$ and calculates the likelihood ratio for a hypothesized value and the maximum likelihood value for the sample, as well as an approximate frequentist p-value.

L1prop(x, n, p.hypoth, pLset=0.05)

Arguments

• x: the number of sampling units with the feature
• n: the number of sampling units examined
• p.hypoth: the hypothesized probability
• pLset: the desired likelihood for the likelihood interval

Returns

none, the normed likelihood for different values of the binomial probability is plotted with the likelihood interval, and some information is printed
