Robust Confidence Intervals for the Bernoulli Parameter [PDF]

open access: possibleCommunications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2009
Despite the simplicity of the Bernoulli process, developing good confidence interval procedures for its parameter—the probability of success p—is deceptively difficult. The binary data yield a discrete number of successes from a discrete number of trials, n.

Model robust confidence intervals

Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 1982
Abstract Confidence intervals are constructed for real-valued parameter estimation in a general regression model with normal errors. When the error variance is known these intervals are optimal (in the sense of minimizing length subject to guaranteed probability of coverage) among all intervals estimates which are centered at a linear estimate of the

Robust Confidence Intervals for Regression Parameters

Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 1998
The paper considers the problem of finding accurate small sample confidence intervals for regression parameters. Its approach is to construct conditional intervals with good robustness characteristics. This robustness is obtained by the choice of the density under which the conditional interval is computed.

A note on exact robust confidence intervals for location

Biometrika, 1979
SUMMARY The use of a simple permutation argument to set exact confidence limits for the location parameter of a symmetric distribution is described. The argument is applied to estimates based on original observations and on ranks and to M-estimates. Some key word8: Exact confidence limit; Location estimate; M-estimate; Ranks; Robustness.
