Abstract:

We are concerned with deriving lower confidence bounds for the probability of a correct selection in truncated location-parameter models. Two cases are considered according to whether the scale parameter is known or unknown. For each case, a lower confidence bound for the difference between the best and the second best is obtained. These lower confidence bounds are used to construct lower confidence bounds for the probability of a correct selection. The results are then applied to the problem of selecting the best exponential population having the largest Truncated location-parameter. Useful tables are provided for implementing the proposed methods. Keywords Correct selection Probability of a correct selection Indifference zone Lower confidence bound Best population Truncated-location model, Two-parameter exponential distribution.
