Gilles Sadowski commented on STATISTICS-6:
------------------------------------------
{quote}
{code}
public enum BinomialConfidenceLevel { /* ... */ }
{code}
{quote}
Shouldn't this be named {{BinomialConfidenceInterval}} ?
bq. Remove the confidence level from the interface.
+1
But then the {{ConfidenceInterval}} interface becomes a (trivial) "interval",
or actually just a "pair of numbers".
Shouldn't this be defined at a more general level?
bq. Change from using confidence level to target error rate alpha
Even if one method would trivially call the other, how about having two factory
methods:
{code}
public ConfidenceInterval withConfidenceLevel(int numberOfTrials, int
numberOfSuccesses, double confidence) {
return withErrorRate(numberOfTrials, numberOfSuccesses, 1 - confidence);
}
{code}
and
{code}
public ConfidenceInterval withErrorRate(int numberOfTrials, int
numberOfSuccesses, double errorRate) { /* ... */ }
{code}
?
