The problem of finding confidence intervals for the success parameter of a binomial experiment has a long history, and a myriad of procedures have been developed. Most exploit the duality between ...

p is the probability of success for the binomial distribution, where . In terms of acceptance sampling, p is the probability of selecting a nonconforming item. n is the number of independent Bernoulli ...

We present a method to obtain both exact values and sharp estimates for the total variation distance between binomial and Poisson distributions with the same mean λ. We give a simple efficient ...
