Abstract
A method for constructing exact simulated confidence intervals is presented, valid for situations with both discrete and continuous observations. The idea of the method is to invert a data generating function, which needs not be monotone, and where special attention is taken when the data generating function contains jumps. The method is applied to obtain exact confidence intervals for certain types of censored data from exponential distributions. The censoring schemes under study are earlier treated in the literature, and a comparison to these approaches is considered. The connection to fiducial inference is discussed, and a difference in the paradigm of obtaining intervals for the parameter is studied.
期刊介绍:
ASMBI - Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (formerly Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis) was first published in 1985, publishing contributions in the interface between stochastic modelling, data analysis and their applications in business, finance, insurance, management and production. In 2007 ASMBI became the official journal of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (www.isbis.org). The main objective is to publish papers, both technical and practical, presenting new results which solve real-life problems or have great potential in doing so. Mathematical rigour, innovative stochastic modelling and sound applications are the key ingredients of papers to be published, after a very selective review process.
The journal is very open to new ideas, like Data Science and Big Data stemming from problems in business and industry or uncertainty quantification in engineering, as well as more traditional ones, like reliability, quality control, design of experiments, managerial processes, supply chains and inventories, insurance, econometrics, financial modelling (provided the papers are related to real problems). The journal is interested also in papers addressing the effects of business and industrial decisions on the environment, healthcare, social life. State-of-the art computational methods are very welcome as well, when combined with sound applications and innovative models.
