The ``Scaled-Binomial'' Confidence Interval
The primary method for calculating confidence intervals is based off a
continuous analogy of a Binomial distribution. Each marginal estimate
of a classification proportion is really created by averaging a large
number of such proportion estimates generated on each PSU. Hence, we
have a proportion estimate p which represents one of the parameters
from a binomial distribution. We also have the variance of the
parameter estimate.
