"""Confidence interval for ratio of counts using the Walters logarithm method.

Provides confidence intervals for the ratio A/B where A and B are counts
(e.g., successes vs failures, detections vs misses). The method uses a
log-transformation to produce asymmetric intervals that respect the
non-negative nature of ratios.

    """Calculate confidence interval for ratio of counts using Walters method.

    Computes a confidence interval for the ratio A/B where A and B are counts.
    Uses the Walters logarithm method (Gart and Nam, 1988) which applies a
    log-transformation to produce asymmetric intervals appropriate for ratios.

    The method computes:
        ratio = A / B
        c = A + B  (degrees of freedom for t-distribution)
        expo = t_crit * sqrt(1/A + 1/B + 2/C)
        CI = [ratio * exp(-expo), ratio * exp(expo)]

    Args:
        a: Numerator count(s). Must be positive (> 0).
        b: Denominator count(s). Must be positive (> 0).
        confidence: Confidence level in (0, 1). Default is 0.95 for 95% CI.

    Returns:
        Tuple of (lower_bound, upper_bound). Returns scalars for scalar inputs,
        arrays for array inputs. Returns (nan, nan) for invalid inputs (a <= 0
        or b <= 0).

    Note:
        This method requires positive counts. For a=0 or b=0, consider using
        continuity corrections or alternative methods. The current implementation
        returns NaN for non-positive inputs.

    Example:
        >>> lower, upper = ratio_ci(10, 20)  # Single ratio
        >>> lower, upper = ratio_ci([5, 10], [15, 20])  # Multiple ratios
        >>> lower, upper = ratio_ci(10, 20, confidence=0.99)  # 99% CI
