Distribution Free Confidence Intervals for Quantiles Based on Extreme Order Statistics in a Multi-Sampling Plan
Extended Abstract. Let Xi1 ,..., Xini ,i=1,2,3,....,k be independent random samples from distribution $F^{alpha_i}$، i=1,...,k, where F is an absolutely continuous distribution function and $alpha_i>0$ Also, suppose that these samples are independent. Let Mi,ni and M'i,ni respectively, denote the maximum and minimum of the ith sa...
متن کاملOn Increasing Confidence in Confidence Intervals
A set of N data elements (xI +•.• + X~)/N and variance of the th The r moment of the data elements elements is used to estimate E(xr ). th r x1' •.•• xN has r moment E(x)= th r 2r 2 r r moment Var(x ) = E(x )-E (x ). in an arbitrary subset of k Over all the choices of the sample, the mean error is zero and the mean squared error N-k r k(N-I) Var(x). A little-known theorem by Marlow shows that t...
متن کاملGuaranteed Conservative Fixed Width Confidence Intervals Via Monte Carlo Sampling
Monte Carlo methods are used to approximate the means, μ , of random variables Y , whose distributions are not known explicitly. The key idea is that the average of a random sample, Y1, . . . ,Yn, tends to μ as n tends to infinity. This article explores how one can reliably construct a confidence interval for μ with a prescribed half-width (or error tolerance) ε . Our proposed two-stage algorit...
متن کاملThe psychometric function: II. Bootstrap-based confidence intervals and sampling.
The psychometric function relates an observer's performance to an independent variable, usually a physical quantity of an experimental stimulus. Even if a model is successfully fit to the data and its goodness of fit is acceptable, experimenters require an estimate of the variability of the parameters to assess whether differences across conditions are significant. Accurate estimates of variabi...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood confidence intervals for complex sampling designs
We define an empirical likelihood approach which gives consistent design-based confidence intervals which can be calculated without the need of variance estimates, design effects, resampling, joint inclusion probabilities and linearization, even when the point estimator is not linear. It can be used to construct confidence intervals for a large class of sampling designs and estimators which are...
