The cost of using exact confidence intervals for a binomial proportion

When computing a confidence interval for a binomial proportion p one must choose between using an exact interval, which has a coverage probability of at least 1-{\alpha} for all values of p, and a shorter approximate interval, which may have lower coverage for some p but that on average has coverage equal to 1-\alpha. We investigate the cost of using the exact one and two-sided Clopper--Pearson confidence intervals rather than shorter approximate intervals, first in terms of increased expected length and then in terms of the increase in sample size required to obtain a desired expected length. Using asymptotic expansions, we also give a closed-form formula for determining the sample size for the exact Clopper--Pearson methods. For two-sided intervals, our investigation reveals an interesting connection between the frequentist Clopper--Pearson interval and Bayesian intervals based on noninformative priors

Storstäderna växer och folk vill bo allt mer centralt, men det finns inte mycket yta att bygga på ifall man inte vill offra naturområden. En lösning är att bygga på höjden, det vill säga öka antalet våningar. Det är vad denna uppsats handlar om och hur bostads- och hyresrättsföreningar kan dra nytta av detta genom att öka sin ekonomiska vinning, samtidigt som de gör samhället en tjänst och är med och mättar behovet. Det denna uppsats kommer att behandla är hur ekonomin i olika föreningar ändras i samband med takpåbyggnad med en eller flera våningar och hur detta skiljer sig utifrån olika tekniska lösningar. Syftet är att utifrån detta skapa en uppsats som kan gagna framtida fastigheter som överväger att göra en sådan ombyggnation. De metoder vi kommer använda är granskning av dokumentation och handlingar från olika föreningar som har genomgått en takpåbyggnad av en eller flera våningar. Dessa kommer att användas för att göra uträkningar och egna analyser. Även intervjuer med styrelsemedlemmar i bostadsrättsföreningarna och företag som utför takombyggnationer förekommer. Tekniska och juridiska krav behandlas även om vad som generellt gäller för en takpåbyggnad. I slutet så sker en analys av objekten, där man får se resultatet av det som undersökts. Avslutningsvis så kommer slutsatsen som ger oss svaret att en bostadsrättsförenings ekonomi med största sannolikhet gynnas av en ombyggnation av detta slag om möjligheten finns. De variationer som förekom var oftast lägesrelaterade och man kan se en tydlig korrelation mellan vinsten och ju mer centralt man hamnade. Slutsatsen är alltså i sin enkelhet att om möjligheten finns så är en våningstakpåbyggnad med stor sannolikhet ett lönsamt alternativ.The big cities are growing and people want to live ever more centrally, but there is not much space to build on if you do not want to sacrifice the natural areas. One solution is to build higher, namely increasing the number of floors. That's what this essay is about and how housing and tenancy associations can take advantage of this by increasing their financial gain, while they’re doing the community a service and is with and saturates need. There we will examine is how the economies of various compounds change with a storey extension with one or more floors and how this differs from different technical solutions. The aim is that by this create an essay that will benefit future properties that are considering doing such conversions. The methods we will use is the examination of records and documents of various cases that have undergone a storey extension of one or more floors. These will be used to make the calculations and their own analyzes. Interviews with board members of housing cooperatives and companies that perform storey extensions occur. Technical and legal claims are pending, although generally applicable for a storey extension. In the end this happens, an analysis of the items, where you see the results of what has been investigated. Finally it will conclude that gives us the answer to a housing association economy most likely benefits from a reconstruction of this kind if the possibility exists. The variations that occurred were usually locational and one can see a clear correlation between the gain and the more centrally it ended. The conclusion is thus in its simplicity that if there is a possibility to do a storey extension, then it probably is a viable alternative

A TARGET CONSUMER PROFILE AND POSITIONING FOR PROMOTION OF A NEW LOCALLY BRANDED BEEF PRODUCT

This research examines the consumer profile and positioning for a new locally branded beef product. The research involves 413 beef consumers in California. The target consumers for the new locally branded beef product are approximately one-third of beef consumers in the local area. They are older, married, and from higher dual-income households. The target consumers for the new locally branded beef product are likely to have purchased other branded beef products. Approximately one-half of the beef consumers indicated that they make their meat purchase decisions in the store. The characteristics of beef that are important to the consumers when purchasing beef are price, quality, and appearance of the beef. Therefore, competitive pricing, packaging that highlights the product, and point of purchase material that focuses on the brand concept are very important to the positioning and marketing of the new branded beef product.Consumer/Household Economics,
