Comparison of Different Intervals
There are several research papers that compare these and other confidence intervals for the binomial proportion. A good starting point is Agresti and Coull (1998) or Ross (2003) which point out that exact methods such as the Clopper-Pearson interval may not work as well as certain approximations. But it is still used today for many studies.
Many of these intervals can be calculated in R using the binom package.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison of, comparison and/or intervals:
“But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“We say that every man is entitled to be valued by his best moment. We measure our friends so. We know, they have intervals of folly, whereof we take no heed, but wait the reappearings of the genius, which are sure and beautiful.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
