Exact Confidence Bounds When Sampling from Small Finite Universes: Easy Reference Based on the Hypergeometric Distribution: v. 66 (Lecture Notes in Statistics) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book has been designed as a reference for students and practitioners who must find exact confidence intervals when sampling from finite populations. It can be used by statisticians, engineers, life, physical and social scientists, quality control personnel, auditors, accountants and others. The book avoids the need for approximations, especially in those cases where many approximations are known to perform poorly. The supporting development and theory of the exact results are presented in an elementary manner. While the problem addressed in this book is a common one, the exact solution is not commonly used by many, perhaps because of the involved combinatorics and the required computing. The text removes the need to compute these confidence bounds when sampling from small universes.
