title: Comparing a sample proportion with a specified population proportion based on the mid-P method.
abstract: A common practice for determining whether a sample proportion is statistically different from a specified population proportion is using the exact probability procedure. However, it produces overly conservative confidence intervals and p-values. A stand-alone executable program is written for applying alternative approaches based on the mid-P and bootstrap methods.
