Abstract
Wald, profile likelihood, and marginal likelihood confidence intervals are derived for the ratio of two Poisson rates in the presence of one-way differentially misclassified data using double sampling. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the reliability and relative performance of the intervals, and an example from cancer epidemiology illustrates their application and interpretation in a real-world scenario. All of the methods described are implemented and freely available in the R package poisDoubleSamp on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).
