madansky function

Madansky's method

Calculate a binomial series lower confidence bound using Madansky's (1965) method.

madansky(s, n, alpha, use.backup = FALSE, backup.method, ...)

Arguments

• s: Vector of successes.
• n: Vector of sample sizes.
• alpha: The significance level; to calculate a 100(1-$\alpha$)% lower confidence bound.
• use.backup: If TRUE, then a backup.method in the will be used for the methods with calculate LCB = 1 in the case of no failures across all components. If FALSE (default), no backup.method is used.
• backup.method: The backup method which is used for the methods which calculate LCB = 1 in the case of zero failures. Use function name.
• ...: Additional arguments to be ignored.

Returns

The 100(1-$\alpha$)% lower confidence bound. Note that if there are zero observed failures across all components, the output is LCB = 0.

Examples

madansky(s=c(35, 97, 59), n=c(35, 100, 60), alpha=.10)
