The Wilson score interval was developed by E.B. Wilson (1927). It is an improvement over the normal approximation interval in multiple respects: Unlike the symmetric normal approximation interval (above), the Wilson score interval is asymmetric, and it doesn't suffer from problems of overshoot and zero-width intervals that afflict the normal
confidence interval formula for a proportion: pˆ. q. ˆ. ˆ ˆ ˆ / (4) = ±. α / 2 p p z pq n. The Wilson Score method does not make the approximation in equation 3. The result is more involved algebra (which involves solving a quadratic equation), and a more complicated solution. The result is the Wilson Score confidence interval for a ...

- Wald Interval. The Wald interval is the most basic confidence interval for proportions. Wald interval relies a lot on normal approximation assumption of binomial distribution and there are no modifications or corrections that are applied.
- Clopper — Pearson Interval (Exact Interval) Clopper-Pearson interval (also known as exact interval) came into existence with an objective to have the coverage at a minimum of 95% for all values of p and n. As the alternative name of ‘exact’ interval suggests, this interval is based on the exact binomial distribution and not on the large sample mid-p normal approximation like that of Wald interval.
- Wilson Interval (Score Interval) The Wilson Score Interval³ is an extension of the normal approximation to accommodate for the loss of coverage that is typical for the Wald interval.
- Agresti-Coull Interval. Agresti & Coull a simple solution⁴ to improve the coverage for Wald interval. This simple solution is also considered to perform better than Clopper-Pearson (exact) interval also in that this Agresti-Coull interval is less conservative whilst at the same time having good coverage.
Several methods to estimate the confidence interval for the binomial proportion (we focus on two-sided intervals here) are as follows: • Wald asymptotic confidence interval: ( p ˆ − zα / 2. p ˆ ( 1 − p ˆ ) / n , p ˆ + zα / 2 p ˆ ( 1 − p ˆ ) / n ) .
