Interval estimates for binomial proportion

The subject of this thesis is the point estimate and interval estimates of the binomial proportion. Interval estimation of the probability of success in a binomial distribution is one of the most basic and crucial problems in statistical practice. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is about maximum- likelihood estimation for a binomial proportion. Futhermore, we will describe several methods of the construction of confidence intervals. In the end, we will compare all intervals in term of the actual coverage probability and expected length.
