Primes

• Confidence Intervals
  • Additional canonical references in this cluster: , , , , , , , , ,

    This sourceIntroduces the exact ('Clopper-Pearson') confidence interval for a binomial proportion.

Mechanisms

• Finite-Sample or Exact Interval Check
  • Exact intervals can over-cover, buying a guarantee with excess width that frustrates decision-makers, and a strictly conservative interval is a real cost when precision matters.

Verification

This reference passed the adversarial substantiation pipeline: it was checked to exist and to support the claim it is attached to. See how references were verified.
