Rayleigh Confidence Regions based on Record Data

Abstract

. This paper presents exact joint confidence regions for the parameters of the Rayleigh distribution based on record data. By providing some appropriate pivotal quantities, we construct several joint confidence regions for the Rayleigh parameters. These joint confidence regions are useful for constructing confidence regions for functions of the unknown parameters. Applications of the joint confidence regions using two environmental data sets are presented for illustrative purposes. Finally, a simulation study is conducted to study the performance of the proposed joint confidence regions.
