Abstract

Several confidence interval estimates for the difference of two binomial proportions were introduced. Bootstrap confidence interval is also suggested. We examined the over estimation property of approximate intervals and under estimation trend of exact intervals for the difference of proportions. We compared these confidence intervals based on the average coverage probability, expected width and skewness measure. Particularly actual coverage probability were calculated by using the prior distribution of parameters. Monte Carlo simulation for small sample size is conducted. Some interesting contour plots of average coverage probability and marginal plots for several interval estimates are presented.

본 논문에서는 두 모비율의 차에 대한 기존의 신뢰구간들을 소개하고 붓스트랩 신뢰구간도 제안하였다 또한 모비율의 차에 대한 신뢰구간이 가지는 성질로서 근사신뢰구간의 하향추정의 문제와 정확신뢰구간의 상향추정의 문제점들을 확인하였고 평균포함 확률, 구간기대폭 그리고 왜도성 측면에서 종합적인 비교를 하였다. 특히 모수에 대한 사전분포를 가정하여 여러 신뢰구간들이 지니는 특징도 살펴보았다 기존의 신뢰구간들과 제안된 붓스트랩 신뢰구간은 소표본의 모의실험을 통하여 실제 포함확률의 평균을 기준으로 비교되었고 이항분포에서와 같이 정확신뢰구간이 지니는 보수성을 확인할 수 있었다. 신뢰구간의 평균포함확률의 등고선 그림도 소개하였다.
