| Dec 3, 2019 at 20:21 | comment | added | jjet | I was really excited to see that you'd done the math (and gotten such an intuitive answer). I was optimistic that this would be better than the normal approximation. Sadly, it seems that for sufficiently small value of $p$, the truncated normal approximation outperforms the beta approximation. | |
