摘要
Herein, we present confidence intervals for the variance and difference of variances of Birnbaum-Saunders distributions constructed by using the bootstrap confidence interval (BCI), the generalized confidence interval (GCI), the Bayesian confidence interval (BayCI), and the highest posterior density interval (HPD). The performances of the proposed confidence intervals were investigated in terms of their coverage probabilities and average lengths by running a Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results reveal that HPD performed the best, even for small sample sizes and/or different values of the shape parameter. To illustrate the efficacy of the proposed confidence intervals, we applied them to datasets of the PM 2.5 concentration in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
