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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The following example illustrates how you can construct a bootstrap confidence interval by using the multiple responses feature in PROC TPSPLINE. Numerous epidemiological observations have indicated ...

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 ...
