Confidence Intervals for Binomial Parameters

The Bachelor thesis deals with the construction of confidence intervals for the parameter of the Binomial distribution. In the first part of the thesis we deal with the relationship between hypotheses testing and confidence in- tervals. The methods mentioned in this thesis are based on this relationship. The next part is devoted to the Clopper-Pearson method and its possible improvements which were made by Sterne, Crow, Blyth and Still. The gra- phical approach of Schilling and Doi is also worth noticing. Afterwards we present the methods based on the Normal approximation, particularly the Wilson method and the Wald method. Finally, all the methods mentioned in this thesis are compared in terms of coverage probability.
