Simultaneous confidence bands for a percentile line in linear regression

Construction of simultaneous confidence bands for a percentile line in linear regression has been considered by several authors. But only conservative symmetric bands, which use critical constants over the whole covariate range (−∞, ∞), are available in the literature. New methods allow the construction of exact symmetric bands for a percentile line over a finite interval of the covariate x. Th...

Simultaneous Confidence Bands for a Percentile Line in Linear Regression with Application to Drug Stability Studies

Simultaneous confidence bands have been used to quantify unknown functions in various statistical problems. A common statistical problem is to make inference about a percentile line in linear regression. Construction of simultaneous confidence bands for a percentile line has been considered by several authors, e. But only conservative symmetric bands, which use critical constants over the whole...

Comparing quantile residual life functions by confidence bands.

In this article we present a nonparametric method for constructing confidence bands for the difference of two quantile residual life (qrl) functions. These bands provide evidence for two random variables ordering with respect to the qrl order. The comparison of qrl functions is of importance, specially in the treatment of cancer when there exists a possibility of benefiting from a new secondary...

Confidence Bands for ROC Curves

We address the problem of comparing the performance of classifiers. In this paper we study techniques for generating and evaluating confidence bands on ROC curves. Historically this has been done using one-dimensional confidence intervals by freezing one variable—the false-positive rate, or threshold on the classification scoring function. We adapt two prior methods and introduce a new radial s...
