This paper evaluates several methods for obtaining a one-tailed confidence interval for a binomial proportion (most of them are new proposals) and comes to the conclusion that the optimal method is the Wilson’s classic score method with continuity correction and with the original data (without any increases). A simpler option, though not so good as that just mentioned, is the new adjusted Wald method with the increase of data proposed by Borkowf.

One-tailed asymptotic inferences for a proportion

Abstract

This paper evaluates several methods for obtaining a one-tailed confidence interval for a binomial proportion (most of them are new proposals) and comes to the conclusion that the optimal method is the Wilson’s classic score method with continuity correction and with the original data (without any increases). A simpler option, though not so good as that just mentioned, is the new adjusted Wald method with the increase of data proposed by Borkowf.
