You are right, there is a method "lrt", but it is not mentioned in the
documentation. (Look at the code.)

Subject: Re: [R] Question on Binom.Confint
Hi Fang,
Let's assume that you are using the "binom.confint" function in the "binom" package and
you have made a spelling mistake or two. This function employs nine methods for estimating the binomial
confidence interval. Sadly, none of these is "lrt". The zero condition is discussed in the help
page for four of these methods. Assuming you want to use another method, you will have to look up the method.
A good start is:

Hi,
I have a question with the function Binom.Confint(x,n,"method"=lrt). For
likelihood ratio test, I'd like to ask how you define the upper limit when the frequency
of successes is zero. Thanks!
