The Shortest Clopper–Pearson Randomized Confidence Interval for Binomial Probability
Zieli´nski (2010) showed the existence of the shortest Clopper–Pearson confidence interval for binomial probability. The method of obtaining such an interval was presented as well. Unfortunately, the confidence interval obtained has one disadvantage: it

Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals are useful tools for statistical decision-making purposes. In case of incomplete and vague data, fuzzy confidence intervals can be used for decision making under uncertainty.

Fletcher-Turek Model Averaged Profile Likelihood Confidence Intervals [PDF]
We evaluate the model averaged profile likelihood confidence intervals proposed by Fletcher and Turek (2011) in a simple situation in which there are two linear regression models over which we average. We obtain exact expressions for the coverage and the

Assessing the similarity of dose response and target doses in two non-overlapping subgroups [PDF]
We consider two problems that are attracting increasing attention in clinical dose finding studies. First, we assess the similarity of two non-linear regression models for two non-overlapping subgroups of patients over a restricted covariate space.

Fixed-width confidence interval for a lognormal mean
We consider the problem of constructing a fixed-width confidence interval for a lognormal mean. We give a Birnbaum and Healy type two-stage procedure to construct such a confidence interval. We discuss some asymptotic properties of the procedure. A three-

Improving Point and Interval Estimates of Monotone Functions by Rearrangement [PDF]
Suppose that a target function is monotonic, namely, weakly increasing, and an available original estimate of this target function is not weakly increasing.

Mortality among Lifelong Nonsmokers Exposed to Secondhand Smoke at Home: Cohort Data and Sensitivity Analyses [PDF]
Evidence is growing that secondhand smoke can cause death from several diseases. The association between household exposure to secondhand smoke and disease-specific mortality was examined in two New Zealand cohorts of lifelong nonsmokers (‘‘never smokers’

A second-order efficient empirical Bayes confidence interval
We introduce a new adjusted residual maximum likelihood method (REML) in the context of producing an empirical Bayes (EB) confidence interval for a normal mean, a problem of great interest in different small area applications.

Model averaging is a technique used to account for model uncertainty, in both Bayesian and frequentist multimodel inferences. In this paper, we compare the performance of model-averaged Bayesian credible intervals and frequentist confidence intervals ...

Based on the observation that frequentist confidence intervals and Bayesian credible intervals sometimes happen to have the same numerical boundaries (under very specific conditions), Albers et al.
