Hi, I have a question about prop.test in R:
I teach students the score confidence interval for proportions (also called Wilson or Wilson score interval). prop.test(,..., correct=FALSE) gives this interval. The default uses a continuity correction. When should we use one over the other? Is it worth going over this in class? Why is correct=TRUE the default? Thanks for any pedagogical guidance here! -- Laura ******************************************* Laura Chihara Professor of Mathematics 507-222-4065 (office) Dept of Mathematics 507-222-4312 (fax) Carleton College 1 North College Street Northfield MN 55057 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-teaching
