Re: st: Binomial confidence intervals

[Frederico Zanqueta Poleto <fred-l@poleto.com>]

Paul,

The book from Agresti (2002), Categorical Data Analysis, discuss 
confidence intervals built from tests like Wald, score and likelihood 
ratio, and the Clopper-Pearson, Wilson and Agresti-Coull.intervals too. 
I think any library from a statistical faculty have this book and it is 
a great reference about the subject.
