摘要: SUMMARY In a recent paper (Welch and Peers, 1963) formulae were obtained for confidence points depending on the distributional properties of certain integrals weighted likelihoods. Some comparisons are made here with SUPPOSE sample S has probability element p(S, 0) dS = exp {L(S, 0)} dS. We concerned in main situations where L(S, is "in sense" 0(n), n can become large. For "almost all samples" there then single maximumlikelihood estimate T which will differ from 0 by 0(n-A). write K2(0) E{(n-iaL/a6)2} _E(n-E 32L/62), (1) but convenience we shall often abbreviate K2(T) to K2 K2(6) simply K2. Asymptotically ni K'(T- tends be distributed normally mean zero standard deviation unity. The quantity iK2(6 - T) also have same distribution. More precisely Pr{n K2(6-T) < x} 0s+0(n-), (2) e cx related
