A modified sequential procedure is put forward for the problem of estimating the mean of a normal population by a confidence interval of prescribed width and confidence coefficient, when the ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a method for setting confidence intervals on the ratio of variances in the twofold analysis of variance model. Since the ratio of variance components is of some ...

The linkage disequilibrium method is currently the most widely used single sample estimator of genetic effective population size. The commonly used software packages come with two options, referred to ...

The confidence interval for the variance has upper and lower limits equal to the squares of the corresponding upper and lower limits for the standard deviation. Figure 38.11 shows a table of the 95% ...
