✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A nonparametric discrete delta method for estimating standard errors of percentile estimators in quantal bioassay is described. A simulation study of confidence intervals for ED__x__ in probit analysis shows the discrete delta method compared favorably with intervals based on maximum likelihood and also some parametric bootstrap methods.

We study the backward Euler method with variable time steps for abstract evolution equations in Hilbert spaces. Exploiting convexity of the underlying potential or the angle-bounded condition, thereby assuming no further regularity, we derive novel a posteriori estimates of the discretization error
