Generalized pivotal quantities (GPQs) and generalized confidence intervals (GCIs) have
proven to be useful tools for making inferences in many practical problems. Although GCIs …

This paper develops new methodology, together with related theories, for combining
information from independent studies through confidence distributions. A formal definition of …

This article discusses the meta-analysis of raw mean differences. It presents a rationale for
cumulating psychological effects in a raw metric and compares raw mean differences to …

This article presents procedures for hypothesis testing and interval estimation of the
common mean of several normal populations. The methods are based on the concepts of …

We consider the one-way random-effects model with unequal sample sizes and
heterogeneous variances. Using the method of generalized confidence intervals, we …

Weighted mean has been used to combine means from several sets of measurements,
which are either from different laboratories or based on different measurement methods. It is …

Maximum likelihood estimators (MLE's) are presented for the parameters of a univariate
asymmetric Laplace distribution for all possible situations related to known or unknown …

The hypothesis testing and interval estimation are considered for the common mean of
several normal populations when the variances are unknown and possibly unequal. A new …

The inversion formula for evaluation of the distribution of a linear combination of
independent t and F random variables, respectively, is suggested. The method is applied to …

The statistical analysis for comparing the means of two independent log-normal distributions
is often of interest in biomedical research. In this paper, we present a score test for testing …
