Interval estimation of the ordered means of two normal populations based on hybrid estimators
University of Nebraska
The interval estimation of ordered means of two normal populations based on a statistic which is sometimes the pooled sample mean and sometimes the maximum, or minimum, of the sample means, depending on whether the difference between the two sample means is small or large, when the two sample means have a common known variance is considered. The coverage probability of this procedure is derived and its behaviour is investigated. Comparisons with other procedures are made.
