Abstract

In this paper, various methods for finding confidence intervals for p of binomial parameter are reviewed. Also we introduce tow bootstrap confidence intervals for p. We compare the performance of bootstrap methods with other methods in terms of average coverage probability by Monte Carlo simulation. Advantages of these bootstrap methods are discussed.
