A New Confidence Interval Method for the Estimation of Quantiles
نویسنده
چکیده
Confidence intervals for the median of estimators or other quantiles were proposed as a substitute for usual confidence intervals in terminating and steady-state simulation. They are easy to obtain, the variance of the estimator is not used, they are well suited for correlated simulation output data, apply to functions of estimators, and in simulation they seem to be particularly accurate. For the estimation of quantiles by order statistics, the new confidence intervals are exact.

Constructing a Confidence Interval for Quantiles of Normal Distribution, one and Two Population
In this paper, in order to establish a confidence interval (general and shortest) for quantiles of normal distribution in the case of one population, we present a pivotal quantity that has non-central t distribution. In the case of two independent normal populations, we construct a confidence interval for the difference quantiles based on the generalized pivotal quantity and introduce ...
متن کاملBayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...

متن کاملConfidence Intervals for Lower Quantiles Based on Two-Sample Scheme
In this paper, a new two-sampling scheme is proposed to construct appropriate confidence intervals for the lower population quantiles. The confidence intervals are determined in the parametric and nonparametric set up and the optimality problem is discussed in each case. Finally, the proposed procedure is illustrated via a real data set.
متن کاملNonparametric quantile estimation with correlated failure time data.
In biomedical studies, correlated failure time data arise often. Although point and confidence interval estimation for quantiles with independent censored failure time data have been extensively studied, estimation for quantiles with correlated failure time data has not been developed. In this article, we propose a nonparametric estimation method for quantiles with correlated failure time data....
