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 کاملBounded Length Confidence Intervals for Finite Populations
SUMMARY Consider an urn which has N K balls, of which M K are white and labeled by numbers. The first part of this paper deals with sequential bounded length confidence intervals for the mean value of the white balls. The stopping rules are similar to those of Chow and Robbins (1965), but since almost sure convergence is ruled out, the observations are dependent, and M K , N K may not be known,...
متن کاملComparison of five introduced confidence intervals for the binomial proportion
So far many confidence intervals were introduced for the binomial proportion. In this paper, our purpose is comparing five well known based on their exact confidence coefficient and average coverage probability.
متن کاملConfidence intervals for the population mean tailored to small sample sizes, with applications to survey sampling.
The validity of standard confidence intervals constructed in survey sampling is based on the central limit theorem. For small sample sizes, the central limit theorem may give a poor approximation, resulting in confidence intervals that are misleading. We discuss this issue and propose methods for constructing confidence intervals for the population mean tailored to small sample sizes. We presen...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for the Difference of Two Normal Population Variances
Motivated by the recent work of Herbert, Hayen, Macaskill and Walter [Interval estimation for the difference of two independent variances. Communications in Statistics, Simulation and Computation, 40: 744-758, 2011.], we investigate, in this paper, new confidence intervals for the difference between two normal population variances based on the generalized confidence interval of Weerahandi [Gene...
