摘要：

In this article, we derive an explicit formula for constructing the confidence interval of binomial parameters with guaranteed coverage probability. The formula overcomes the limitation of normal approximation which is asymptotic in nature and thus inevitably introduces unknown errors in applications. Moreover, the formula is very tight in comparison with classic Clopper-Pearson's approach from the perspective of interval width. Based on the rigorous formula, we also obtain approximate formulas with an excellent performance of coverage probability.
