Refining binomial confidence intervals

Comparison 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.

Simultaneous confidence intervals for comparing binomial parameters.

SUMMARY To compare proportions with several independent binomial samples, we recommend a method of constructing simultaneous confidence intervals that uses the studentized range distribution with a score statistic. It applies to a variety of measures, including the difference of proportions, odds ratio, and relative risk. For the odds ratio, a simulation study suggests that the method has cover...

Confidence intervals for a binomial proportion.

Thirteen methods for computing binomial confidence intervals are compared based on their coverage properties, widths and errors relative to exact limits. The use of the standard textbook method, x/n +/- 1.96 square root of [(x/n)(1-x/n)/n], or its continuity corrected version, is strongly discouraged. A commonly cited rule of thumb stating that alternatives to exact methods may be used when the...
