Confidence Intervals Based on Interpolated Order Statistics.
Abstract
Confidence intervals for the population median based on interpolating adjacent order statistics are presented. They are shown to depend only slightly on the underlying distribution. A simple, nonlinear interpolation formula is given which works well for a broad collection of underlying distributions. Additional keywords: Nonparametric statistics, Sign test, and Distribution functions. (Author)
