Hi Andreas,

This is a nice contribution, but I see a few problems:

1) Computed two-tailed p values can be > 1, for example
[h, p, ci] = binotest (7,14,0.5)
with p =  1.2095

2) There is an error when pos == 0 or pos == n, for example
[h, p, ci] = binotest (0,14,0.5)
[h, p, ci] = binotest (14,14,0.5)

3) Also, "There are two methods to define the two tailed p-value" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_test ) when p0 != 0.5. So we should either allow the user to choose which method to use, or at least document which is the method available.

Can you check on these?

Nir

Dear maintainers

enclosed a new function binotest() for the statistics package.
Syntax and structure is similar to other *test functions
There are two demos enclosed.
Results were compared to results computed by R.

I hope this is useful for others too.

With best regards

Andreas Stahel
