Abstract
We estimate with Monte Carlo the goodness of fit and the confidence level of the standard allowed regions for the neutrino oscillation parameters obtained from the fit of solar neutrino data. We calculate allowed regions with correct frequentist coverage using the Crow-Gardner prescription of smallest acceptance intervals. We present also the results of a calculation of Bayesian allowed regions with a flat prior in the log(tan^2 theta)-log(Delta m^2) plane.
