Confidence Intervals and the New Statistics
Most readers understand that 57% is our best estimate of true support for the President, in the population from which the pollster sampled, and that the 2% margin of error (MOE) tells us that the estimate is, most likely, not more than 2% from the true value. In other words, values inside the interval [55, 59], as marked by the error bars in Figure 1, are the most plausible for the true value. ...
متن کاملDistribution 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. Let Mi,ni and M'i,ni respectively, denote the maximum and minimum of the ith sa...
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 ...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for rank statistics: Somers’ D and extensions
Somers’ D is an asymmetric measure of association between two variables, which plays a central role as a parameter behind rank or “non–parametric” statistical methods. Given a predictor variable X and an outcome variable Y , we may estimate DY X as a measure of the effect of X on Y , or we may estimate DXY as a performance indicator of X as a predictor of Y . The somersd package allows the esti...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for spectral mean and ratio statistics
We propose a new method to construct confidence intervals for spectral mean and related ratio statistics of a stationary process, that avoids direct estimation of their asymptotic variances. By introducing a bandwidth, a self-normalization procedure is adopted and the distribution of the new statistic is asymptotically nuisance-parameter free. The bandwidth is chosen using information criteria ...
