Robust Confidence Intervals For The Population Mean Alternatives To The Student-T Confidence Interval, Moustafa Omar Ahmed Abu-Shawiesh, Aamir Saghir

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

In this paper, three robust confidence intervals are proposed as alternatives to the Student‑t confidence interval. The performance of these intervals was compared through a simulation study shows that Qn-t confidence interval performs the best and it is as good as Student’s‑t confidence interval. Real-life data was used for illustration and performing a comparison that support the findings obtained from the simulation study.
