Bayesian confidence intervals of proportion with misclassified binary data

A Bayesian approach is considered for the interval estimation of a binomial proportion in doubly sampled data. The coverage probability and the expected width of the Bayesian confidence interval are compared with likelihood-related confidence intervals. It is shown that a hierarchical Bayesian approach provides relatively simple and effective confidence intervals. In addition, it is shown that Agresti–Coull type confidence interval, discussed by  Lee and Choi (2009), can be justified by the Bayesian framework.
