Conditional Confidence Interval for the Scale Parameter of a Weibull Distribution
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62F25, 62F03.A two-sided conditional confidence interval for the scale parameter θ of a Weibull distribution is constructed. The construction follows the rejection of a preliminary test for the null hypothesis: θ = θ0 where θ0 is a given value. The confidence bounds are derived according to the method set forth by Meeks and D’Agostino (1983) and subsequently used by Arabatzis et al. (1989) in Gaussian models and more recently by Chiou and Han (1994, 1995)...
