Class confidence_level

boost::histogram::utility::confidence_level — Confidence level for intervals.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/histogram/utility/binomial_proportion_interval.hpp>


class confidence_level {
public:
  // construct/copy/destruct
  explicit confidence_level(double) noexcept;

  // public member functions
  template<typename T> explicit operator T() const noexcept;
  operator deviation() const noexcept;
};

Description

Intervals become wider as the deviation value increases.

`confidence_level` public construct/copy/destruct

constructor from confidence level (a probability)

`confidence_level` public member functions

template<typename T> explicit operator T() const noexcept;

explicit conversion to numerical confidence level

```
operator deviation() const noexcept;
```
implicit conversion to units of standard deviation
