A procedure based on order statistics is given for the interval estimation of the largest α-quantile of several continuous distributions. Results on infimum of coverage probability are obtained for ...

Confidence Interval Estimate: a range of values so constructed that a specified proportion of the intervals costructed that way would contain the true value of a parameter. Critical Value: a point on ...

An empirical likelihood method was proposed in Hill and Peng (2014) to construct a unified interval estimation for the coefficient in an AR(1) model, regardless of ...

This example calculates confidence intervals based on the profile likelihood for the parameters estimated in the previous example. The following introduction on profile-likelihood methods is based on ...

The number needed to treat, that is, the average number of patients a clinician needs to treat with a particular therapy to prevent one bad outcome,1 is a translation into clinical terms of the ...

Geoff Cumming receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Such research findings sound exciting because the word significant suggests important and large. But researchers often use the word ...

Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests are directly linked. Confidence intervals can be used to check the reasonableness of claims about the parameter. If someone claims the parameter is equal to ...

As part of “From Sample to Verdict,” LCGC International sat down with Noemi Procopio, who is the Principal Investigator of ...
