Confidence interval estimation of gamma distribution lifetime data using score and bootstrap methods

Propensity score interval matching: using bootstrap confidence intervals for accommodating estimation errors of propensity scores

BACKGROUND Propensity score methods have become a popular tool for reducing selection bias in making causal inference from observational studies in medical research. Propensity score matching, a key component of propensity score methods, normally matches units based on the distance between point estimates of the propensity scores. The problem with this technique is that it is difficult to estab...

Double Bootstrap Confidence Interval Estimates with Censored and Truncated Data

Traditional inferential procedures often fail with censored and truncated data, especially when sample sizes are small. In this paper we evaluate the performances of the double and single bootstrap interval estimates by comparing the double percentile (DB-p), double percentile-t (DB-t), single percentile (B-p), and percentile-t (B-t) bootstrap interval estimation methods via a coverage probabil...

Hyperbolic Cosine Log-Logistic Distribution and Estimation of Its Parameters by Using Maximum Likelihood Bayesian and Bootstrap Methods

‎In this paper‎, ‎a new probability distribution‎, ‎based on the family of hyperbolic cosine distributions is proposed and its various statistical and reliability characteristics are investigated‎. ‎The new category of HCF distributions is obtained by combining a baseline F distribution with the hyperbolic cosine function‎. ‎Based on the base log-logistics distribution‎, ‎we introduce a new di...

Confidence-interval estimation using quasi-independent sequences

A quasi-independent (QI) subsequence is a subset of time-series observations obtained by systematic sampling. Because the observations appear to be independent, as determined by the runs tests, classical statistical techniques can be used on those observations directly. This paper discusses implementation of a sequential procedure to determine the simulation run length to obtain a QI subsequenc...
