Area specific confidence intervals for a small area mean under the Fay-Herriot model

‎Small area estimates have received much attention from both private and public sectors due to the growing demand for effective planning of health services‎, ‎apportioning of government funds and policy and decision making‎. ‎Surveys are generally designed to give representative estimates at national or district level‎, ‎but estimates of variables of interest are oft...

Outer 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 ...

Confidence intervals for the population mean tailored to small sample sizes, with applications to survey sampling.

The validity of standard confidence intervals constructed in survey sampling is based on the central limit theorem. For small sample sizes, the central limit theorem may give a poor approximation, resulting in confidence intervals that are misleading. We discuss this issue and propose methods for constructing confidence intervals for the population mean tailored to small sample sizes. We presen...

بکارگیری روش باز نمونه گیری بوت استرپ در رگرسیون لجستیک و کاربرد آن در تحلیل داده های مربوط به بیماران مبتلا به سرطان سینه

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of the bootstrap method in logistic regression and to explore the method's use in logistic regression models in cases where the sample size is insufficient. Materials and Methods: We use data from 150 patients who had undergone surgery at the Cancer Institute, Emam Khomeini hospital during from 1999 to 2001. Then we drew...

Asymptotically distribution-free (ADF) interval estimation of coefficient alpha.

The point estimate of sample coefficient alpha may provide a misleading impression of the reliability of the test score. Because sample coefficient alpha is consistently biased downward, it is more likely to yield a misleading impression of poor reliability. The magnitude of the bias is greatest precisely when the variability of sample alpha is greatest (small population reliability and small s...
