Conditional confidence interval procedures for the location and scale parameters of the Cauchy and logistic distributions

By J. F. LAWLESS *

University of Manitoba

Conditional confidence interval estimation procedures for the location and scale parameters of the Cauchy and logistic distributions are discussed. There are two aims: The first is to discuss computational aspects of using the conditional confidence interval approach, and the second is to give a rough numerical comparison of the conditional confidence interval procedures and the unconditional confidence interval procedures for the parameters of the Cauchy and logistic distributions, discussed recently by Haas, Bain & Antle (1970), and Antle, Klimko & Harkness (1970), respectively.

Key Words: Ancillary statistics • Cauchy distribution • Conditional inference • Confidence interval procedures • Logistic distribution • Location and scale parameters
