A Calculator for Confidence Intervals
نویسنده
چکیده
A calculator program has been written to give confidence intervals on branching ratios for rare decay modes (or similar quantities) calculated from the number of events observed, the acceptance factor, the background estimate and the associated errors. Results from different experiments (or different channels from the same experiment) can be combined. The calculator is available in http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~barlow/limits.html

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 کاملConfidence Intervals for Lower Quantiles Based on Two-Sample Scheme
In this paper, a new two-sampling scheme is proposed to construct appropriate confidence intervals for the lower population quantiles. The confidence intervals are determined in the parametric and nonparametric set up and the optimality problem is discussed in each case. Finally, the proposed procedure is illustrated via a real data set.

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...
