Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the actual confidence levels of five different approximations for confidence intervals for the probability of success in Markov dependent trials. The approximations involve the conditional probability of success as a nuisance parameter, and the effects of substituting Klotz's (1973), Price's (1976), and a new estimator are also evaluated. The new estimator is less biased and tends to increase the confidence level. A program for calculating the estimator and the confidence interval approximations is available.

Five different approximations for error rates (probabilities of an error) of digital communication systems are derived under the assumptions that the sample is large, the error rate is constant and the dependence between transmission is governed by a stationary first-order Markov chain mode l.
