Good day: Here is my data (x_data):

Treat  outcome  count

A          x             10
A          y               0
B          x               0
B          y             20

proc freq data=x_data;
title "Agresti-Min (Exact);
tables treat*outcome /riskdiff(cl=(exact));
weight count;
exact riskdiff(method=score2);
run;

The output (attached) gives an Exact 95% Confidence Limit on the difference as 0.7000 to 0.0000. Other methods within proc freq don't do this (they all give 1.000 as an upper limit). I recognize some methods may fall apart when count=0...but, by definition, the lower limit can't be greater than the upper limit.  Is this a known error or what?

As you were 😉
