L'établissement d'une norme de qualification sûre dans un contexte non paramétrique [PDF]
La sélection de personnel pour un emploi se base souvent sur une norme psychométrique quun candidat doit atteindre afin dêtre recruté. Or, cette norme est statistique, cest-à-dire calculée sur les mesures dun simple échantillon de la population ...

A note on confidence intervals for deblurred images [PDF]
We consider pointwise asymptotic confidence intervals for images that are blurred and observed in additive white noise. This amounts to solving a stochastic inverse problem with a convolution operator.

Simple Buehler-optimal confidence intervals on the average success probability of independent Bernoulli trials [PDF]
One-sided confidence intervals are presented for the average of non-identical Bernoulli parameters. These confidence intervals are expressed as analytical functions of the total number of Bernoulli games won, the number of rounds and the confidence level. Tightness of these bounds in the sense of Buehler, i.e.

Simple and Honest Confidence Intervals in Nonparametric Regression [PDF]
We consider the problem of constructing honest confidence intervals (CIs) for a scalar parameter of interest, such as the regression discontinuity parameter, in nonparametric regression based on kernel or local polynomial estimators.

The shortest confidence interval for Poisson mean [PDF]
The existence of the shortest confidence interval for Poisson mean is shown. The method of obtaining such an interval is presented as well.

Confidence intervals for normalised citation counts: Can they delimit underlying research capability? [PDF]
Normalised citation counts are routinely used to assess the average impact of research groups or nations. There is controversy over whether confidence intervals for them are theoretically valid or practically useful. In response, this article introduces the concept of a group's underlying research capability to produce impactful research.

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

Correlation-adjusted standard errors and confidence intervals for within-subject designs: A simple multiplicative approach [PDF]
In within-subject designs, the multiple scores of a given participant are correlated. This correlation implies that the observed variance can be partitioned into between-subject variance and between-measure variance.

Exact-corrected confidence interval for risk difference in noninferiority binomial trials [PDF]
A novel confidence interval estimator is proposed for the risk difference in noninferiority binomial trials. The confidence interval is consistent with an exact unconditional test that preserves the type-I error, and has improved power, particularly for smaller sample sizes, compared to the confidence interval by Chan & Zhang (1999).

Using the confidence interval confidently [PDF]
Biomedical research is seldom done with entire populations but rather with samples drawn from a population. Although we work with samples, our goal is to describe and draw inferences regarding the underlying population. It is possible to use a sample statistic and estimates of error in the sample to get a fair idea of the population parameter, not as a
