Plugin Confidence Intervals in Discrete Distributions
The standard Wald interval is widely used in applications and textbooks because of its elementary motivation and simplicity of computation. It has been shown in several recent papers that the Wald interval suffers from a serious systematic negative bias in its coverage probability. In this article we propose confidence intervals in Binomial, Negative Binomial and Poisson distributions which hav...
متن کاملOn Teaching Bootstrap Confidence Intervals
notion the theoretical distribution on the random variable ) is not available. All we have ICOTS8 (2010) Invited Paper Engel International Association of Statistical Education (IASE) www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/ to rely on are the data at hand, i.e. the sample or recapture of size n. These data–if drawn by some random mechanism–may well be taken as a good representation of the total fish popu...
متن کاملOn small-sample confidence intervals for parameters in discrete distributions.
The traditional definition of a confidence interval requires the coverage probability at any value of the parameter to be at least the nominal confidence level. In constructing such intervals for parameters in discrete distributions, less conservative behavior results from inverting a single two-sided test than inverting two separate one-sided tests of half the nominal level each. We illustrate...
متن کاملBOOTSTRAP CONFIDENCE INTERVALS 1 BootES : An R Package for Bootstrap Confidence Intervals on Effect Sizes
Bootstrap Effect Sizes (bootES; Gerlanc & Kirby, 2012) is a free, open source software package for R (R Development Core Team, 2012), which is a language and environment for statistical computing. BootES computes both unstandardized and standardized effect sizes (such as Cohen’s d, Hedges’s g, and Pearson’s r), and makes easily available for the first time the computation of their bootstrap CIs...
متن کاملThe Effects of Nonnormal Distributions on Confidence Intervals around the Standardized Mean Difference: Bootstrap and Parametric Confidence Intervals
The standardized group mean difference, Cohen’s d, is among the most commonly used and intuitively appealing effect sizes for group comparisons. However, reporting this point estimate alone does not reflect the extent to which sampling error may have led to an obtained value. A confidence interval expresses the uncertainty that exists between d and the population value, δ, it represents. A set ...
