Computing tolerance interval for binomial random variable

Authors

Abstract:

Tolerance interval is a random interval that contains a proportion of the population with a determined confidence level and is applied in many application fields such as reliability and quality control. In this educational paper, we investigate different methods for computing tolerance interval for the binomial random variable using the package Tolerance in statistical software R.

Closed Form Prediction Intervals for a Binomial Random Variable

A prediction interval for a binomial random variable is an important tool in many industry applications. The performance of the existing prediction intervals, however, are unsatisfactory when the true binomial proportion is near a boundary. Since the true proportion can be very small in real applications, in this study, we propose improved prediction intervals with better coverage probability t...

Bayesian Sample Size Computing for Estimation of Binomial Proportions using p-tolerance with the Lowest Posterior Loss

This paper is devoted to computing the sample size of binomial distribution with Bayesian approach. The quadratic loss function is considered and three criterions are applied to obtain p-tolerance regions with the lowest posterior loss. These criterions are: average length, average coverage and worst outcome.

Interval Estimation for a Binomial Proportion

We revisit the problem of interval estimation of a binomial proportion. The erratic behavior of the coverage probability of the standard Wald confidence interval has previously been remarked on in the literature (Blyth and Still, Agresti and Coull, Santner and others). We begin by showing that the chaotic coverage properties of the Wald interval are far more persistent than is appreciated. Furt...

Asymptotic algorithm for computing the sample variance of interval data

The problem of the sample variance computation for epistemic inter-val-valued data is, in general, NP-hard. Therefore, known efficient algorithms for computing variance require strong restrictions on admissible intervals like the no-subset property or heavy limitations on the number of possible intersections between intervals. A new asymptotic algorithm for computing the upper bound of the samp...

Beta - Binomial and Ordinal Joint Model with Random Effects for Analyzing Mixed Longitudinal Responses

The analysis of discrete mixed responses is an important statistical issue in various sciences. Ordinal and overdispersed binomial variables are discrete. Overdispersed binomial data are a sum of correlated Bernoulli experiments with equal success probabilities. In this paper, a joint model with random effects is proposed for analyzing mixed overdispersed binomial and ordinal longitudinal respo...
