[jira] [Commented] (MATH-1038) Add methods to find confidence intervals for the mean of a binomial distribution

["Phil Steitz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13877650#comment-13877650 ] 

Phil Steitz commented on MATH-1038:
-----------------------------------

I think "interval" is fine as subpackage and we may as well move the ConfidenceInterval and abstract base class there as well.  The question is where to place it.  One alternative to consider is to make interval a peer of inference.  That would set us up to eliminate "inference" in 4.0, effectively splitting it into "interval" and "test".  It would be logical to keep "inference" as the parent for "test" and "interval" (and maybe somewhere to put Anova), but my HO is flatter is better when it comes to finding stuff, so I would favor stat.interval, stat.test and ditch .inference in 4.0.  That means now we create stat.interval and put all of the confidence interval stuff there.
