摘要
The authors propose a new method for constructing a confidence interval for the expectation theta of a Poisson random variable. The interval they obtain cannot be shortened without the infimum over theta of the coverage probability falling below 1-alpha. in addition, the endpoints of the interval are strictly increasing functions of the observed variable. An easy-to-program algorithm is provided for computing this interval.
