The distribution parameter interval estimators are obtained by direct numerical approximation of the expected value for infinite and finite populations under the known upper and lower bounds of the random variable domain. Like in Bayesian approach, the distribution parameters are treated as random variables, and their uncertainty is described as a distribution. The Monte Carlo procedure is involved to get the correspondent confidence interval endpoints. The model does not impose any restrictions on the type of distributions. In contrast to other nonparametric interval assessments of distribution parameters, the model is operable for samples of any size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
