Interval Estimation for a Binomial Proportion
We revisit the problem of interval estimation of a binomial proportion. The erratic behavior of the coverage probability of the standard Wald confidence interval has previously been remarked on in the literature (Blyth and Still, Agresti and Coull, Santner and others). We begin by showing that the chaotic coverage properties of the Wald interval are far more persistent than is appreciated. Furt...
متن کاملA Comparison of Binomial Proportion Interval Estimation Methods
Some recent research has confirmed that the standard Wald (normal) confidence interval approximation for the binomial proportion is inadequate in key respects, especially for extreme values of p . Even for moderately large values of n the coverage probabilities can prove to be erratic for various specific values of p . This fact makes general rules for the use of the Wald method problematic. Al...
متن کاملExact Methods for Multistage Estimation of a Binomial Proportion
We first review existing sequential methods for estimating a binomial proportion. Afterward, we propose a new family of group sequential sampling schemes for estimating a binomial proportion with prescribed margin of error and confidence level. In particular, we establish the uniform controllability of coverage probability and the asymptotic optimality for such a family of sampling schemes. Our...
متن کاملA multiscale variance stabilization for binomial sequence proportion estimation
There exist many different wavelet methods for classical nonparametric regression in the statistical literature. However, techniques specifically designed for binomial intensity estimation are relatively uncommon. In this article, we propose a new technique for the estimation of the proportion of a binomial process. This method, called the Haar-NN transformation, transforms the data to be appro...
متن کاملComparison of five introduced confidence intervals for the binomial proportion
So far many confidence intervals were introduced for the binomial proportion. In this paper, our purpose is comparing five well known based on their exact confidence coefficient and average coverage probability.
