Sorry, I fully intended to publish a description, but it turns out at least two of them are the subject of pending patent apps that haven't been published yet, so I can't.

http://stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~tcai/paper/Binomial-Annals.pd... is a reasonable comparison of the current common methods.
Anyway, I deleted the original comment since it doesn't add anything now.
