Parametric estimation of coverage interval is useful since the parametric intervals are generally narrower than the non-parametric ones; however, it has been considered only for the measurement variable with normal distribution. Here we propose a general technique for constructing parametric coverage intervals that may deal with all distributions, both symmetric and asymmetric, in measurement science.
Willink (2004 Metrologia 41 L5-6) is concerned that, in the society of metrology, there is potential for confusion between coverage interval and statistical coverage interval and he makes a precise interpretaion of these two terms. We further clarify that the confidence of a coverage interval is actually a statistical coverage interval.
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.
