Integrals for one-sided confidence bounds: A general result
Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London
Certain multivariate normal and t integrals have bean calculated by Bohrer and Francis and others to find confidence bounds in regression analysis. Their technique of partitioning Rn into disjoint regions is generalized to bounds based on arbitrary polyhedral cones. A geometrical solution for cones in R3 results. The probabilities are also those arising from tests for a multivariate mean against alternatives lying in such cones, developed by Bratholomew and others.
