✦ Synopsis

A preliminary test estimator is a method of combining information from two experiments in a problem of estimating a parameter. The asymptotics of this estimator in the case of estimating a population mean is considered in a setting of a local alternative. Asymptotic confidence intervals are obtained using the asymptotic distribution.

## Abstract The article investigates different estimation techniques in the simple linear controlled calibration model and provides different types of confidence limits for the calibration estimator. In particular, M‐estimation and bootstrapping techniques are implemented to obtain estimates of reg

Confidence intervals for relative risk parameters estimated using affected-sib-pair data are derived and evaluated for two markers showing previous evidence of linkage to bipolar illness. For D18S41 we found some evidence, and for D18S37 stronger evidence, of relative risks greater than 1, although

Cost-effectiveness ratios usually appear as point estimates without confidence intervals, since the numerator and denominator are both stochastic and one cannot estimate the variance of the estimator exactly. The recent literature, however, stresses the importance of presenting confidence intervals
