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 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 کاملExact average coverage probabilities and confidence coefficients of confidence intervals for discrete distributions
For a confidence interval (L(X),U(X)) of a parameter θ in one-parameter discrete distributions, the coverage probability is a variable function of θ . The confidence coefficient is the infimum of the coverage probabilities, infθ Pθ (θ ∈ (L(X),U(X))). Since we do not know which point in the parameter space the infimum coverage probability occurs at, the exact confidence coefficients are unknown....
متن کاملScore and Pseudo-Score Confidence Intervals for Categorical Data Analysis
This article reviews methods for constructing confidence intervals for analyzing categorical data. A considerable literature indicates that the method of inverting score tests performs well for a variety of cases. When the sample size is small or the parameter is near the parameter space boundary, this method usually performs much better than inverting Wald tests and sometimes better than inver...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for Mean and Difference of Means of Normal Distributions with Unknown Coefficients of Variation
This paper proposes confidence intervals for a single mean and difference of two means of normal distributions with unknown coefficients of variation (CVs). The generalized confidence interval (GCI) approach and large sample (LS) approach were proposed to construct confidence intervals for the single normal mean with unknown CV. These confidence intervals were compared with existing confidence ...
