Coverage Probabilities of Simultaneous Confidence Bands and Regions for Log-Location-Scale Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simultaneous confidence band (SCB) for the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of a random variable can be used to assess the statistical uncertainty of the estimated cdf. Cheng and Iles (1983) presented a general approach of constructing an SCB for the cdf of a continuous random variable derived from a 100(1−α)% simultaneous confidence region (SCR) for the parameters of the distribution. The Cheng and Iles SCB procedure includes the true cdf with probability at least (1−α). This paper identifies the conditions under which the coverage probability for the SCB procedure is exactly (1−α). A small simulation illustrates the important theoretical results in the paper.

Exact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملSimultaneous Confidence Bands and Regions for Log-Location-Scale Distributions with Censored Data
In many areas of application, especially life testing and reliability, it is often of interest to estimate an unknown cumulative distribution (cdf). A simultaneous confidence band (SCB) of the cdf can be used to assess the statistical uncertainty of the estimated cdf over the entire range of the distribution. Cheng and Iles (1983) presented a general approach of constructing an SCB for the cdf ...
متن کاملParametric Simultaneous Confidence Bands for Cumulative Distributions From Censored Data
This article describes existing methods and develops new methods for constructing simultaneous confidence bands for a cumulative distribution function. Our results are built on extensions of previous work by Cheng and Iles for two-sided and one-sided bands, respectively. Cheng and Iles used Wald statistics with (expected) Fisher information. We consider three alternatives—Wald statistics with o...

This paper deals with construction of confidence intervals for process capability index using bootstrap method (proposed by Chen and Pearn in Qual Reliab Eng Int 13(6):355–360, 1997) by applying simulation technique. It is assumed that the quality characteristic follows type-II generalized log-logistic distribution introduced by Rosaiah et al. in Int J Agric Stat Sci 4(2):283–292, (2008). Discu...
