摘要: During the last few years, several authors have devoted attention to both old and new methods of making inferences from likelihood functions. In this paper we study properties interval estimates which are obtained by drawing a horizontal line across graph function. An exact evaluation is reported for one case positive negative binomial sampling, with parameter 0. The attained confidence coefficient cx(O) graphed over 0? 0 < 1 these two cases. A brief look taken at intervals when random variable continuous.
