摘要：This note presents a direct adjustment of the estimative prediction limit to reduce the coverage error from a target value to third-order accuracy. The adjustment is asymptotically equivalent to those of Barndorff-Nielsen & Cox (1994, 1996) and Vidoni (1998). It has a simpler form with a plug-in estimator of the coverage probability of the estimative limit at the target value.

摘要：When performing multi-component significance tests with multiply-imputed datasets, analysts can use a Wald-like test statistic and a reference F-distribution. The currently employed degrees of freedom in the denominator of this F-distribution are derived assuming an infinite sample size. For modest complete-data sample sizes, this degrees of freedom can be unrealistic; for example, it may exceed the complete-data degrees of freedom. This paper presents an alternative denominator degrees of fre...

摘要：A key task in the elicitation of expert knowledge is to construct a distribution from the. finite, and usually small, number of statements that have been elicited from the expert. These statements typically specify some quantiles or moments of the distribution. Such statements are not enough to identify the expert's probability distribution uniquely, and the usual approach is to fit some member of a convenient parametric family. There are two clear deficiencies in this solution. First, the exp...
