Admissibility of the usual confidence interval in linear regression [PDF]
, 2010 Consider a linear regression model with independent and identically normally distributed random errors. Suppose that the parameter of interest is a specified linear combination of the regression parameters. We prove that the usual confidence interval for

Measurement of dispersion of PM 2.5 in Thailand using confidence intervals for the coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian distribution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Air pollution is a growing concern for the general public in Thailand with PM 2.5 (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm) having the greatest impact on health. The inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution is used for examining the frequency of high concentration events ...

Modified Clopper-Pearson Confidence Interval for Binomial Proportion [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2014 We introduce expected coverage probability as a measure for constructing confidence intervals for the binomial proportion, p. We propose a model based confidence interval for p using the expected coverage probabilities of the Clopper-Pearson interval ...
