Point and Interval Estimation for the Burr Type III Distribution
In this paper, we study the estimation problems for the Burr type III distribution based on a complete sample. The maximum likelihood method is used to derive the point estimators of the parameter. An exact confidence interval and an exact joint confidence region for the parameters are constructed. Two numerical examples with real data set and simulated data, are presented to illustrate the met...
متن کاملAsymptotically distribution-free (ADF) interval estimation of coefficient alpha.
The point estimate of sample coefficient alpha may provide a misleading impression of the reliability of the test score. Because sample coefficient alpha is consistently biased downward, it is more likely to yield a misleading impression of poor reliability. The magnitude of the bias is greatest precisely when the variability of sample alpha is greatest (small population reliability and small s...
متن کاملInterval estimation for the normal correlation coefficient
Inference concerning the correlation coefficient of two random variables from the bivariate normal distribution has been investigated by many authors. In particular, Fisher [1915. Frequency distribution of the values of the correlation coefficient in samples from an indefinitely large population. Biometrika 10, 507–521] and Hotelling [1953. New light on the correlation coefficient and its trans...
متن کاملConfidence Interval for the Mean of a Bounded Random Variable and Its Applications in Point Estimation
In this article, we derive an explicit formula for computing confidence interval for the mean of a bounded random variable. Moreover, we have developed multistage point estimation methods for estimating the mean value with prescribed precision and confidence level based on the proposed confidence interval.

Their roots go back to Spearman’s 1904 seminal work on factor analysis, which...
