Confidence regions for high quantiles of a heavy tailed distribution

, 2006
Estimating high quantiles plays an important role in the context of risk management. This involves extrapolation of an unknown distribution function. In this paper we propose three methods, namely, the normal approximation method, the likelihood ratio ...

Continuous record Laplace-based inference about the break date in structural change models [PDF]

, 2019
Building upon the continuous record asymptotic framework recently introduced by Casini and Perron (2018a) for inference in structural change models, we propose a Laplace-based (Quasi-Bayes) procedure for the construction of the estimate and confidence ...

A new distribution-free approach to constructing the confidence region for multiple parameters. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Construction of confidence intervals or regions is an important part of statistical inference. The usual approach to constructing a confidence interval for a single parameter or confidence region for two or more parameters requires that the distribution ...

Markov Chain Monte Carlo confidence intervals

, 2016
For a reversible and ergodic Markov chain $\{X_n,n\geq0\}$ with invariant distribution $\pi$, we show that a valid confidence interval for $\pi(h)$ can be constructed whenever the asymptotic variance $\sigma^2_P(h)$ is finite and positive.

ESTIMATING COMMON PARAMETERS OF DIFFERENT CONTINUOUS DISTRIBUTIONS [PDF]

Proceedings on Engineering Sciences
Estimating a common parameter is the most essential and quite fascinating task across various probability distributions. This article addresses the challenge of estimating this parameter through the application of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE ...

Confidence interval estimation of gamma distribution lifetime data using score and bootstrap methods

Desimal, 2021
Confidence interval estimation of parameters determines the value interval, which is calculated based on statistical measurements and has specific estimates probability that contains the actual parameters.

On Fixed-Accuracy Confidence Intervals for the Parameters of Lindley Distribution and Its Extensions

Austrian Journal of Statistics, 2023
The purpose of the present paper is to deal with sequential estimation of the parameter θ in a Lindley distribution. A fixed-accuracy confidence interval for θ with a preassigned confidence coefficient is developed.

Confidence regions for the multinomial parameter with small sample size [PDF]

, 2008
Consider the observation of n iid realizations of an experiment with d>1 possible outcomes, which corresponds to a single observation of a multinomial distribution M(n,p) where p is an unknown discrete distribution on {1,...,d}. In many applications, the
