Hi All:

I am using R to calculate exact 95% confidence interval using Clopper
Pearson method. I am using the following code but it seems to get into a loop and not get out of it, it goes on forever although I am looping it only 10 times across 63 sites with 10 observations per site. I was hoping
to get some help.

?binom.test  #  returns Clopper-Pearson intervals

Laura A. Thompson's excellent "S-PLUS (and R) Manual to Accompany Agresti’s Categorical Data Analysis (2002) , 2nd edition" 2007© cites several other methods. It's easy to access this resource with a web search since Agresti cites it and Google searches generaly bring it up as the first hit.
