Abstract
In this paper we consider interval estimation for the Poisson means. The following confidence intervals are considered: Wald CI, Score CI, Score continuity correction CI, Agresti and Coull CI, Bayes Wald CI, Bayes Score CI, and Bayes Score continuity correction CI. Each interval is examined for its coverage probability and its expected lengths. Based on this simulation; we recommend Score CI and the Wald CI for the small n and the larger n respectively.
