Evaluation of distribution-free confidence limits for enzyme kinetic parameters.
Monte Carlo experiments have been used to test the robustness of distribution-free confidence limits for the parameters of the MichaelisMenten equation (Porter & Trager, 1977). When used in conjunction with the modified form of the direct linear plot (Cornish-Bowden & Eisenthal, 1978), they prove to be more robust than least-squares confidence limits. In circumstances where the least-squares as...
متن کاملUniform Confidence Bands in Deconvolution with Unknown Error Distribution
This paper develops a method to construct confidence bands in deconvolution when the error distribution is unknown. We work with the case where an auxiliary sample from the error distribution is available and the error density is ordinary smooth. The construction is based upon the “intermediate” Gaussian approximation and the Gaussian multiplier bootstrap, but not on explicit limit distribution...
متن کاملFiducial confidence limits and prediction limits for a gamma distribution: Censored and uncensored cases
Correspondence K. Krishnamoorthy, Department of Mathematics, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA 70504, U.S.A. Email: [email protected] The problems of finding confidence limits for the mean and an upper percentile, and upper prediction limits for the mean of a future sample from a gamma distribution are considered. Simple methods based on cube root transformation and fiduci...
متن کاملNonparametric Confidence Intervals for the Integral of a Function of an Unknown Density
Given a random sample of size n from an unknown distribution function F on R with finite derivatives and density f we wish to estimate θ = ∫ L(f) = ∫ L(f(x))dx for L a smooth function. Examples are ∫ f2, the differential entropy and the Kulback-Liebler distance. We estimate f by a kernel estimate f̂ based on a kernel of order p say. We show that {f̂(xi), i = 1, · · · , s} satisfy the Cornish-Fish...
متن کاملOn an Improvement in Confidence Limits for Proportion of Conformance
This paper presents a modification of a method for constructing approximate lower confidence limits for the proportion of conformance of normally distributed processes, which was proposed by Wang and Lam (1996). The proposed method is very simple and its implementation does not require the use of special tables. In addition, as verified via simulation, it leads to confidence limits with coverag...
