Abstract:
|
We investigate coverage probabilities and average lengths of confidence intervals for a Binomial proportion based on the skew-normal approximation to the Binomial distribution. We compare the skew-normal based methods with some existing methods such as the Agresti-Coull and the classical normal distribution based methods.
