+# Wrapper function for vector input --------------------------------------------
+
+#' Calculate binomial proportions from a vector
+#'
+#' A wrapper function for `col_binomial()` that takes a single vector and
+#' automatically calculates the number of successes and trials. This is
+#' particularly useful when working with data that contains missing values.
+#'
+#' @param x A numeric or integer vector containing the data. Can include NA values.
+#' @param success_value The value(s) that count as "success". Can be a single value
+#'   or a vector of values. Default is 1.
+#' @param range The range of values to include in the calculation. Values outside
+#'   this range are excluded (treated as NA). Default is c(0, 1). Set to NULL to
+#'   include all non-NA values.
+#' @param ci_error A numeric vector, the error to be used for calculating
+#'   confidence intervals. Default is 0.05.
+#' @param population A numeric vector, the number of individuals in the
+#'   population to be used for calculating confidence intervals. Default is Inf.
+#' @param method The name of a method to be passed through to `asbio::ci.p()` for
+#'   parameter estimation. The default is "agresti.coull", but other options
+#'   include "asymptotic", "score", "LR" and "exact". See `asbio::ci.p()` for details.
