Abstract

Several methods are used in interval estimation for binomial proportion; however the coverage probabilities of most confidence intervals depart from the confidence level when the binomial population proportion closes to 0 or 1 due to the extreme value. Vollset (1993), Agresti and Coull (1998), Newcombe (1998), and Brown et al. (2001) suggested methods to adjust the extreme value. This paper discusses the influence of extreme value in a binomial confidence interval through the numerical comparison of 6 confidence intervals.

이항비율에 대한 구간추정에 다양한 신뢰구간들이 사용된다. 그러나 대부분의 신뢰구간들은 모비율 p가 0이나 1에 근사할 때 포함확률이 신뢰수준(또는 명목수준, 1 - ${\alpha}$)을 크게 벗어난다. 이는 극단적인 관찰값의 영향 때문이다. Vollset (1993), Agresti와 Coull (1998), Newcombe (1998), Brown 등 (2001) 등은 극단값의 조정을 통해서 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방법들을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 극단값들이 이항비율에 대한 신뢰구간에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지를 6개의 신뢰구간들에 대해서 수치적으로 비교해 보았다.
