A Comparison of Approximate Interval Estimators for the Bernoulli Parameter
Journal Article (Journal Article)
We compare the accuracy of two approximate confidence interval estimators for the Bernoulli parameter p. The approximate confidence intervals are based on the normal and Poisson approximations to the binomial distribution. Charts are given to indicate which approximation is appropriate for certain sample sizes and point estimators. © 1996 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
