Pairwise comparisons for proportions

Description:

     Calculate pairwise comparisons between pairs of proportions with

          giving the counts of successes and failures, respectively. 

       n: Vector of counts of trials; ignored if 'x' is a matrix.

p.adjust.method: Method for adjusting p values (see 'p.adjust') 

     ...: Additional arguments to pass to 'prop.test' 

Value:

     Object of class '"pairwise.htest"'

Examples:

     smokers  <- c( 83, 90, 129, 70 )
     patients <- c( 86, 93, 136, 82 )
     pairwise.prop.test(smokers, patients)
