Popis: | A numerical procedure is developed that minimizes the width of the two-sided conference interval of an unknown fixed parameter given the density function of a point estimator. A computational algorithm for the equal-tails two-sided interval is developed as a simple byproduct. The method is applied to two examples: the Pearson correlation and the squared multiple correlation. |
