The authors propose a new method for constructing a confidence interval for the expectation θ of a Poisson random variable. The interval they obtain cannot be shortened without the infimum over θ of the coverage probability falling below 1 - α. In addition, the endpoints of the interval are strictly increasing functions of the observed variable. An easy-to-program algorithm is provided for computing this interval.
Les auteurs proposent une nouvelle facon de construire un intervalle de confiance pour l'esperance θ d'une variable aleatoire de Poisson. L'intervalle obtenu ne peut etre raccourci sans que l'infimurn sur θ de la probabilite de couverture ne devienne inferieur a l - α. De plus, les extremites de l'intervalle sont des fonctions strictement croissantes de la variable observee. Un algorithme facile a programmer est fourni pour le calcul de cet intervalle.
