[R-sig-Epi] need help in calculating confidence intervals forsensitivity, specificity, PPV & NPV

[BXC (Bendix Carstensen)]

The sensitivity, specificity and predictive values are just proportions,
so yoiu can use the function binom.test() to get exact confidence
confidence intervals.

Best,
Bendix
