| Abstract | Let X have a binomial distribution B(n; p). For a condence interval (L(X); U(X)) of a binomial proportion p, the coverage probability is a variable function of p. The condence coecien t of the condence interval is the inm um of the coverage probabilities, inf0 p 1 Pp(p 2 (L(X); U(X))). Usually, the exact condence coecien t is unknown since the inm um of the coverage probabilities may occur at any point p 2 (0; 1). In this paper, a methodology to compute the exact condence coecien t is proposed. With this methodology, the point where the inm um of the coverage probabilities occurs, as well as the condence coecien t, can be precisely derived. |
