Random sets and exact confidence regions [PDF]
An important problem in statistics is the construction of confidence regions for unknown parameters. In most cases, asymptotic distribution theory is used to construct confidence regions, so any coverage probability claims only hold approximately, for ...

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

Using confidence distribution sampling to visualize confidence sets
This paper presents a new sampling-based methodology designed to fa- cilitate the visual analysis of the confidence sets generated by an inference function such as the likelihood. This methodology generates a sample of parameters from a confidence distribution.

Image Co-localization by Mimicking a Good Detector's Confidence Score Distribution
Given a set of images containing objects from the same category, the task of image co-localization is to identify and localize each instance. This paper shows that this problem can be solved by a simple but intriguing idea, that is, a common object ...

Analytic Confidence Level Calculations using the Likelihood Ratio and Fourier Transform [PDF]
The interpretation of new particle search results involves a confidence level calculation on either the discovery hypothesis or the background-only ("null") hypothesis.

Estimation and Confidence Intervals of a New PCI CNpmc for Logistic-Exponential Process Distribution
The process capability index has been introduced as an effective tool used in industries to aid in the assessment of process performance as well as to measure how much the product meets the costumer expectations.

Robust nonparametric inference for the median
We consider the problem of constructing robust nonparametric confidence intervals and tests of hypothesis for the median when the data distribution is unknown and the data may contain a small fraction of contamination.

Estimation of Gini Index within Pre-Specied Error Bound [PDF]
Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a general theory for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width.
