Alternatively, a sample size can be found to achieve a desired probability of having the width of the confidence interval smaller than a predetermined upper bound. JEBS provides an outlet for papers ...

Further, the easily computed Wilson score-based interval of Newcombe is adapted. Coverage and noncoverage probabilities and expected lengths of the confidence intervals are estimated for a range of ...
