This article is concerned with the problem of deciding whether the mean θ of a normal distribution of known variance lies in a specified finite interval (θ-, θ +). Consideration is given to prior ...

We find that for empirical finite discrete distributions obtained via sampling and subsequent clustering from a normal distribution, the difference between the two approaches remains negligible even ...

An algorithm for the mean and variance of the noncentral hypergeometric distribution is presented, based on two equations from Harkness (1965, Annals of Mathematical Statistics 36, 938-945). A FORTRAN ...
