Abstract

We perform a comparative study among nineteen methods of interval estimation of the Poisson mean, in the intervals (0,2), [2,4] and (4,50], using as criteria coverage, expected length of confidence intervals, balance of noncoverage probabilities, E(P-bias) and E(P-confidence). The study leads to recommendations regarding the use of particular methods depending on the demands of a particular statistical investigation and prior judgment regarding the parameter value if any.
