Confidence interval how sure you are?
Journal of Applied Hematology, 2014 Previously, researchers were reported P value as a basis for conclusion, but in this era of evidence-based medicine we are interested now about the precision of the results obtained that allow us to make right decisions in health care practice.

A New Exact Confidence Interval for the Difference of Two Binomial Proportions
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2020 We consider interval estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions. Several methds of constructing such an interval are known. Unfortunately those confidence intervals have poor coverage probability: it is significantly smaller than the ...
