| .crawford.CI {singlecase} | R Documentation |
.crawford.CI is an internal function that computes 95% confidence intervals around the rarity of a score (Crawford & Garthwaite, 2002). These confidence intervals are based on non-central $t$-distributions.

c is an observation from a non-central $t$-distribution on n - 1 degrees of freedom. Confidence intervals are based on two values of the non-centrality parameter of non-central $t$-distribution, such that the resulting non-central $t$-distribution has $c sqrt{n}$ as its $100 α / 2 $ percentile (value 1) or as its $100 (1-α/2)$ (value 2) (for details, see Crawford & Garthwaite, 2002). The purpose of the .crawford.CI function is to find those values.
