Abstract:
:In this study we are concerned with the construction of confidence intervals for the conditional probability of misallocation associated with Anderson's classification statistics, W. The available methods of computing confidence intervals for the conditional probability are not satisfactory in practice, mainly because the intervals obtained are fairly inaccurate. A new method is presented which enables intervals with almost the desired level of confidence to be easily computed from the initial samples on which W is based.

BIOMETRICS文献大全abstract::We consider a fully model-based approach for the analysis of distance sampling data. Distance sampling has been widely used to estimate abundance (or density) of animals or plants in a spatially explicit study area. There is, however, no readily available method of making statistical inference on the relationships bet...
