A Distribution-Independent Bound on the Level of Confidence in the Result of a Measurement
نویسنده
چکیده
The Bienaymé-Chebyshev Inequality provides a quantitative bound on the level of confidence of a measurement with known combined standard uncertainty and assumed coverage factor. The result is independent of the detailed nature of the probability distribution that characterizes knowledge of the measurand.

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.

متن کاملConstructing 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 کاملOuter and Inner Confidence Intervals Based on Extreme Order Statistics in a Proportional Hazard Model
Let Mi and Mi be the maximum and minimum of the ith sample from k independent sample with different sample sizes, respectively. Suppose that the survival distribution function of the ith sample is F ̄i = F ̄αi, where αi is known and positive constant. It is shown that how various exact non-parametric inferential proce- ′ dures can be developed on the basis of Mi’s and Mi ’s for distribution ...

Economic literature in 1990s notifies that the larger a nation’s social capital is, the more fortunate and wealthier the nation would be. Social capital or social part of production function is a nation’s historical heritage that aids the civil society in solving its problems through confidence factor. Civil society institutions encourage the option of cooperation strategy by means of informati...
متن کاملA New Lower Bound for Completion Time Distribution Function of Stochastic PERT Networks
In this paper, a new method for developing a lower bound on exact completion time distribution function of stochastic PERT networks is provided that is based on simplifying the structure of this type of network. The designed mechanism simplifies network structure by arc duplication so that network distribution function can be calculated only with convolution and multiplication. The selection of...
