[R] Exact poisson confidence intervals

Hi all, Is there any R function to compute exact confidence limits for a Poisson distribution with a given Lambda? Thanks in advance Federico __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the

Re: [R] Exact poisson confidence intervals

Exact confidence limits are highly conservative. I have not studied this for the Poisson distribution, but for the binomial distribution, Brown, Cai and DasGupta (2001, 2002) showed that the exact coverage probabilities exhibit increasingly wild oscillations as the binomial probability
