摘要
The standard method of obtaining a two-sided confidence interval for the Poisson mean produces an interval which is exact but can be shortened without violating the minimum coverage requirement. We classify the intervals proposed as alternatives to the standard method interval. We carry out the classification using two desirable properties of two-sided confidence intervals.
