Exact 95% confidence intervals for differences in binomial proportions
1VAMC Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, USA.
Abstract:
A method is described that allows exact 95% confidence intervals to be computed for differences in binomial proportions. The method itself is not iterative, but it uses the iteratively computed 95% confidence intervals for the individual binomial proportions. The method converges with the usual normal approximation method, as denominators become large. It correlates very closely with the Yates-corrected chi-square test. The method works regardless of the definition of success or failure in the proportions and regardless of the order of the proportions.

Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
